Tinubu Meets Labour Leaders Over Proposed Protest
President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday night met with the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress over the planned nationwide protest by organised labour over unresolved demands.
The meeting, which took place at the State House, Abuja, followed growing tensions between the Federal Government and labour unions over issues bordering on workers’ welfare, rising cost of living and the implementation of previously agreed concessions.
The Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the President, Bayo Onanuga, confirmed the meeting in a statement late Tuesday night.
He disclosed that key stakeholders were in attendance.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu met with the leadership of the NLC, along with the chairman of Progressive Governors Forum, Hope Uzodimma, Governor of Edo State, Monday Okpebholo and Governor of Kebbi State, Dr Nasir Idris and the Minister of State Labour, Honourable Nkeiruka Onyejeocha,” the statement partly read.
According to the statement, the Nigeria Labour Congress was led to the meeting by its national leadership.
“The chairman of the NLC, Comrade Joe Ajaero, led the labour leaders to the meeting on Tuesday night at the State House, Abuja,” it added.
