The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has raised alarm over the presence “of soldiers” at the venue of its meeting with the federal government.
According to a post on its official Facebook page, soldiers are currently at the premises of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
It further posted that “any attempt to intimidate, blackmail labour leaders at the negotiation table will be resisted while strike action will be further be prolonged”.
The NLC and TUC are on strike to protest the minimum wage of the country which the country is proposing at N60,000, while the NLC is demanding N494,000.
Major sectors of the country have been shut down due to strike action.
The government is yet to comment to this development as of the time of this report.
