In its pursuit of greater welfare for its members, the National Economic Council (NEC) has advised the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) not to abandon discussion.
In addition, the Council urged the unions to call off the statewide indefinite strike that was set to begin on October 3.
After Thursday’s NEC meeting in Abuja, Plateau’s governor, Caleb Mutfwang, briefed state house correspondents.
He said the country was at a crossroads, and that certain states had taken on the labor crisis after taking power in May.
He argues that it is unreasonable to have workers strike again so soon after some of these nations have settled the situation.
The governor of Plateau state warned that the federal government and the states would feel the effects of the scheduled industrial action severely.
He said the NEC was very concerned about the current situation and hoped Nigerians would be patient and calm.
National leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has decided to go on an indefinite strike beginning on October 3, 2023, and the National Economic Council (NEC) has discussed this decision.
The Council also discussed the impact the strike would have on the economy and the country, urging its members to keep talking to their state’s top officials.
It urges them to put off the action and keep talking to the federal government. This, he replied, “is the Council’s plea.”
