The Bola Tinubu-led administration has urged the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) to reconsider their decision and avoid initiating a nationwide strike. Mohammed Idris, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, emphasized that it is not in the government’s interest for labour unrest to persist.
In response to the 14-day ultimatum issued by organized labor regarding the challenges facing Nigerians, the minister assured that the Federal Government remains committed to fulfilling its pledges to workers and will uphold agreements with the unions.
According to the minister: “Well, we appeal to labour to always see reason with the government. It is not in the government’s interest for the labour to continue to go on strike.
“I think the government keeps its promises. If there are other things that they (NLC, TUC) think they are concerned about, I think that they will sit down with the government and the government is ever ready to listen to labour so that we can have an amicable resolution to all these.
“We appeal with labour, let them come again, around the table to continue to have engagements and conversations around whatever grey areas they think they have in some of these agreements that have already been signed.”
