Representatives
of the organised labour and a team of the federal government are currently
meeting in Abuja.
The
tripartite committee is meeting with the aim of preventing the planned national
strike billed to commence on Tuesday.
Some of
those at the meeting include: the Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, Minister
of Budget and National Planning, Udo Udoma and Labour leaders.
Recall that
the organised labour had on Sunday shunned the conciliatory meeting with the
Federal Government over the non-implementation of the N30,000 new National
Minimum Wage for workers in the country.
Mr Boss
Mustapha, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, had said the
meeting was part of the exercise that should be undertaken as part of the
ongoing negotiation.
He said the
meeting was to ensure a complete report to be submitted to the presidency on
the issue of the new national minimum wage.
