The Organised Labour comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) on Sunday confirmed that the planned indefinite strike over the new minimum wage will proceed as scheduled.
Labour said its decision stands despite last-minute efforts by the National Assembly leadership to prevent a potential economic shutdown by the unions.
Labour said it will meet and discuss the appeal made by the leadership of the National Assembly in need to suspend the proposed strike and allow for more dialogue with its organs before taking a decision.
