The Nigeria Labour Congress led by the President of the Congress, Ayuba Wabba and his team were in a 40 minutes meeting behind closed doors with the Senate President, Bukola Saraki to discuss the current Nationwide strike labour embarked on.
Wabba who spoke to reporters after the meeting said that the strike would go on until the Federal Government resumed talks with the NLC under his leadership.
He told Saraki that the apex labour union is ready to resume negotiations with the federal government on the issue if the invitation is extended to their members, while denying claims of labour leaders walking out of a negotiation meeting with the Federal government team on Tuesday.
“We are trying to engage government in negotiations essentially about the trade issue, but importantly about the increase in the pump price of PMS from N87 to N145 and we have assured the Senate president that at no point the union leaders walked out on the government.
“In fact when those issues were presented and the position of government was made known to us, we did not actually agree and we requested that we excuse them,“ Wabba said.
