The Federal Government has again beckoned to the Nigerian Labour Congress for a dialogue over its intended nationwide indefinite strike action.
The NLC had warned that the 14-day ultimatum given to the FG would elapse on Thursday, September 21, and if its demands are not met, there will be an indefinite nationwide strike.
In a bid to avert the strike, the Ministry of Labour and Employment has scheduled Monday, September 18, 2023, for both parties to dialogue according to a statement signed by Labour Ministry Director of Information, Olajide Oshundun on Sunday.
The ministry had earlier met the NLC for a dialogue, during which both parties could not reach an agreement.
