The leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) has resolved to go ahead with the nationwide strike to protest the non-implementation of the minimum wage on Monday.
The organized labour resolved to go ahead with the strike despite a last-minute attempt by the leadership of the National Assembly to stave off the industrial action.
In a last ditch attempt to persuade the labour to stop the strike, the Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, met with the President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, and his TUC counterpart, Festus Osifo, along with other union leaders on Sunday night in Abuja.
