The Federal Executive Council (FEC), has approved a 30-day implementation plan for the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the federal government and organised labour unions to enable the government implement it’s part of agreements with the unions.
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) had, in September, issued a warning that they would embark on an indefinite strike from October 3 over the unbearable hardship Nigerians were going through as a result of the removal of fuel subsidy by President Bola Tinubu.
However, they had to suspend the strike after a meeting with a government delegation on October 1 to engage the unions as a measure to avert the nationwide strike, where the labour leaders reached an agreement to shelve the planned action in an MoU signed by Joe Ajaero, NLC president, Festus Osifo, TUC president, and representatives of the federal government.
