Strike continues pending Tuesday review meeting, says Labour

The Nigeria Labour Congress says the ongoing nationwide strike will continue despite the agreement signed with the Federal Government at Monday’s meeting.

NLC in a post on its X handle on Tuesday, said the industrial action will continue until Tuesday’s meeting of organs of the union where all resolutions of Monday’s meeting are expected to be reviewed.

“Until we hear from our organs at our meeting scheduled for today, June 4, we are still on strike,” the post read.
