FG Appealed To NLC To Suspend Proposed 2-Day Nationwide Warning Strike
Federal Government has appealed to the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, to suspend its proposed 2-day nationwide warning strike over economic hardship.
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Simon Lalong made the call at a news conference on Monday in Abuja.
“As such action would be detrimental to the gains already being recorded on our course to securing a greater future for Nigerian workers and citizens at large.
“Furthermore, I would request that the Comrade Leadership of the NLC gives this government some time to settle and address the issues on the ground holistically.

“It should be realised that the Cabinet of this administration was only recently sworn in by Mr President and all cabinet members have hit the ground running by receiving briefings from their MDAs.
“Therefore, the issues raised by the leadership of the NLC are some issues that I and the Minister of State for Labour and Employment are being briefed upon,” he said.
