The National Economic Council (NEC) has pleaded with the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) not to embark on its planned industrial action.
NEC’s message was conveyed by the Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, while briefing State House Correspondents shortly after the NEC meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Thursday.
Mutfwang begged the leadership of the organised labour to be patient with the Federal Government and give more time for dialogue.
According to him, the welfare of Nigerian workers would form part of the issues President Bola Tinubu would address in his maiden Independence Day broadcast to Nigerians on Sunday.
Truth Live News recalls that the NLC and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) said they will commence an indefinite strike on Tuesday, October 3.
Also, the unions on Tuesday informed their state chapters to mobilise for protests across the country.
Earlier, leaders of the two labour unions were at loggerheads which informed why only NLC embark on a two-day warning strike without the participation of TUC.
