The brief meeting which was held at the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, saw the Minister appealing to the organised Labour to shelve their strike in the interest of Nigerians while allowing room for all stakeholders to work towards an amicable resolution of the contending issues on ground.
The apex union had hinged the proposed action on excruciating suffering being experienced by Nigerians following the removal of fuel subsidy, including what it termed undue interference in the activities of the National Union of Road Transport Workers . He explained that the Federal Government took these decisions now rather than delay them further and put the nation into more difficulties that might be impossible to reverse.
“As we continue in this direction, therefore, we must ensure that there is a robust line of communication with Nigerians and in particular the organised labour to forestall a breakdown of industrial peace which would no doubt reverse some of the gains already made.
