Following their meeting with the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress will hold a joint extraordinary National Executive Council meeting by 7pm today.

The National Vice President of the TUC, Tommy Etim, disclosed this in an interview with The PUNCH in Abuja.

Etim told the news platform that the NSA briefed the leadership of the organised labour on the steps taken so far.

He also noted that the union leaders secured the commitment of the NSA.

Etim noted that the union leaders were satisfied with the NSA’s steps so far.

“We commend the steps taken so far by the NSA. He made us understand that he didn’t see the issue on the ground as a political fight. He also noted that two people have been arrested in line with the brutalisation of Ajaero. Initially, the government felt the strike would not hold. They were shocked to see that we went ahead with our threats.

“We are going to have an extraordinary joint NEC this evening by 7pm and I can tell you there is hope,” he said.

Ribadu met with the leadership of the organised labour in his office in Abuja earlier in the day.

The NSA had announced that the individuals responsible for the brutalisation of Ajaero had been arrested.

The organised labour is protesting against the alleged brutalisation of its National President, Joe Ajaero, and the failure of the government to implement some of the agreements reached on October 2, 2023 effectively

Lol

Summary, the strike is over. Meanwhile, the Government of Imo state is behind the brutalization of Mr President of the NLC. Uzidimma should also be arrested. Otherwise, the NLC and TUC have been scammed.

. only one day strike NSA and agbodo criminals have started begging.🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don't give a hoot about them. They failed us when we needed them the most during fuel subsidy removal.

Lol

exactly my position always. Look at what Nigerians are going through because of the increment in fuel, nlc were using us to cruise. Those guys are working with government

Ipobidients unna see unna life outside?

More lost to you.

Now tell me what has been achieved?

Has Tinubu GCFR been removed and Obi installed?

Remember the arrested people will be taken to a government controlled court and will be discharged and aquited and ajaero will lick his wounds.

Lazy people

How serious is NLC on national issues rather than the inhuman treatment of their leader. What about the enforcing of interest of the masses in which they're also feeling the pain of the economy...

Go and collect your ghana must go.
Call off the strike midnight tonight.
Rinse and repeat in three months time

I no talk am?

Lol

Going for strike because of NLC president personal interest in imo state governorship election

Some people think this failed strike will lead to Tinubu resigning
