The meeting between the Federal
Government and the Organised Labour over the hike in fuel price and electricity
tariff has been postponed till Monday September 28.
Labour unions had fixed the same
day to commence a nationwide strike.
Both parties met in Abuja on
Thursday but did not reach an agreement.
Ayuba Wabba, President of the Nigeria Congress (NLC), confirmed that discussions would continue.
“The discussions will continue on
Monday, by 3 p.m,” NAN quoted him as saying.
However, the National Industrial
Court has granted an interim injunction restraining the Nigeria Labour Congress
(NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) from embarking on an industrial action.
Justice Ibrahim Galadima granted
the order pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice.
He restrained the unions, their
officers, affiliates, privies from preventing workers and other Nigerians from
accessing their offices.
Galadima ordered the Inspector
General of Police and the Director General, Department of State Services (DSS),
to protect workers at offices from harassment by NLC and TUC.
