The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, on Tuesday, declared that it is still on strike.
Posting on its X, NLC said its organs will meet to decide on the outcome of the meeting with the Federal Government.

Osun Defender reports that the organised labour and federal government met on Monday while the FG promised to increase the minimum wage from N60,000.
The organized labour embarked on an indefinite strike on Monday to push for an improved pay package for workers.
The strike led to a meeting between the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Senator George Akume and labour leaders in Abuja.
At the end of the meeting, it was agreed that “Further to the negotiation by the Tripartite Committee on National Minimum Wage (NMW) and subsequent withdrawal of Labour from negotiation, the Leadership of the National Assembly intervened on 2nd June 2024. The Organised Labour declared a nationwide strike on Monday, 3rd June, 2024 to drive home its demands.
“The Federal Government, in the National interest, convened a meeting with Labour held in the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, on Monday 3rd June, with a view to ending the strike action.
“The President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria is committed to a National Minimum Wage that is higher than N60,000.”
