Festus Osifo, the president of the TUC, told Channels Television over the phone that none of the organization’s members are taking part in the warning strike.
A two-week window to resolve the impasse, according to the Federal Government, has been agreed upon.
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) members have been on a two-day warning strike since Tuesday.
Earlier this week, Olajide Oshundu, the ministry of labour and employment’s director of press and public relations, made a statement revealing this.
He said that the minister’s meeting on Monday with the TUC leadership was successful since both sides came to an understanding that the government will address their concerns within two weeks.
The statement claims that the concerns that must be resolved over the next two weeks include setting up institutions for the efficient implementation of the federal government’s palliatives, awarding pay raises to federal public servants, and exempting particular groups of workers from paying taxes.
The warning strike does not include any of the TUC’s members, as TUC President Festus Osifo told Channels Television over the phone earlier in the day.
The NLC President, Joe Ajaero, acknowledged his pleasure with the level of adherence to the sit-at-home orders in a statement.
On Wednesday, September 6, he also asked all of its participants to continue the sit-at-home protest by closing all the gaps found on the first day.
