BREAKING: Labour arrives SGF office for closed-door meeting
Labour leaders have arrived at the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation for a closed-door meeting with government representatives, a highly placed source informed our correspondent on Monday.
“We are also meeting with the government representative in the SGF office today. Already seated awaiting the government representative,” the source said.
The source has yet to mention the names of the government representatives who bid to attend to the labour leaders at the time of filing this report.
The PUNCH reports that some unions have shut their workplaces to comply with the directive of the two labour unions to embark on an indefinite nationwide strike.
On Friday, organised labour announced that they will be commencing a nationwide indefinite strike due to the refusal of the Federal Government to increase the proposed minimum wage from N60,000.
According to the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, the strike will begin at midnight on Sunday, June 2, 2024.
In a joint statement delivered by Ajaero and his Trade Union Congress counterpart, Festus Osifo, they expressed their serious concerns and disappointment over the Federal Government’s failure to finalise and pass a new National Minimum Wage Act into law.
