Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n

The Nigerian government has fixed a meeting with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) leaders by 7pm today (Sunday), in a last effort to avert the union proposed strike action from Monday.<\/p>\n

Organised labour is insisting that the government reverses the recent hike in prices of petrol and electricity tariff and have vowed to proceed on a nationwide strike from September 28, if its demands were not met.<\/p>\n

The union members had earlier fixed the meeting to hold on Monday by 3pm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Honorable Minister for Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige will be meeting with the\u00a0Organized Labour<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe meeting earlier scheduled for Monday 28th September 2020 is now scheduled as follows:<\/p>\n
