According to reports, the Federal Government of Nigeria met with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).
On Monday, there was still no resolution after the meeting.
The conference, which was organized by Minister of Labour and Employment Simon Lalong, did not resolve any of the Union’s concerns.
The minister, however, was hopeful that the problems highlighted by the Nigerian workers would be solved.
His assurance that the FG will sort things out in time was reassuring.
“We also need to acknowledge the harsh economic realities we face.
“As we address the worries of our labor force, we must be cognizant of finding a middle ground that fosters economic expansion and ensures long-term success for our country.
There are, he noted, “potential gaps between the interests of workers and the ultimate goal of driving economic advancement,” and he urged all parties to “join hands” in a “open-minded and constructive dialogue” to help close them.
According to NLC President Ajaero, “the issue of NURTW was clearly stated in the ultimatum we gave and in the NEC resolution, and it was at that time the issue has not degenerated the way it has now.” We needed it, so we brought it along.
“On the other problems, it is clear that no agreement was reached; no CNG is available, and neither are the refineries or the gas supply.
Nothing has been resolved regarding the ASUU problems or the wage award and cash transfer. However, we anticipate that before the deadline in the next several days, something will occur.
If the union’s demands aren’t met by the deadline, Ajaero said the strike would carry on indefinitely.
