The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has reiterated its resolve to go ahead with its plan nationwide protest scheduled to begin tomorrow, Wednesday.
The NLC and its Trade Union Congress (TUC) counterpart have ruled out the suspension of nationwide mass action against the fuel price hike and other policies of the federal government.
Joe Ajaero, President of the NLC, disclosed this to journalists Tuesday night at Labour House, Abuja.
Earlier, Festus Osifo, TUC President, said labour leaders were going into a meeting to decide the final outcome of the protest.
Osifo said this after a meeting with Federal Government representatives led by Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu.
Gbajabiamila had said there were indications that labour would not go ahead with the protest.
But in his address, Ajaero said the protest would go on as planned.
The labour leader said the meeting held with representatives of the federal government did not change the union’s position on protest.
He directed state councils of the congress to mobilise heavily for the action.
