electricity tariff and the removal of petrol subsidy.
This resolve was taken following a closed-door meeting between the NLC
and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila.
Mr Gbajabiamila had on Sunday met with representatives of NLC, at the
National Assembly Complex in Abuja, in an attempt to mediate and broker
an amicable solution to the impasse between Organised Labour and the
Federal Government (FG).
Briefing journalists after the meeting, NLC President Comrade Ayuba
Wabba said the proposed strike by the union will proceed unless the FG
addresses the issues.
Reacting to the court order restraining the NLC from downing tools, Mr
Wabba said the organization has not been served with the order and
cannot speak on it.
He, however, noted that there is a judgement of a Federal High court
stopping the increase of electricity tariff which the FG has refused to
obey.
According to the NLC President, the proposed strike will only fail to
hold if the govt makes a u-turn before 12 midnight today.
