The leadership of the National Assembly and five ministers have commenced a meeting with the executive of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) in a bid to prevent the planned indefinite workers’ strike.

The emergency meeting was summoned by the Presiding officers of the National Assembly.

The leadership of organised labour had declared an indefinite strike billed to commence today over the non-approval of a national minimum wage by the federal government.

The National Assembly leadership, however, said the impending industrial action would have severe repercussions on the populace and economy.
