by The National Economic Council NEC has urged the Nigerian Labour Congress NLC and Trade Union Congress TUC to shelve their proposed industrial action.
The Governor of Plateau State, Mr Caleb Mutfwang, who issued the appeal on Thursday while briefing State House Correspondents shortly after the NEC meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, urged the leadership of the organized labour to be patient with the Federal Government and give more time for dialogue.
Mr Mutfwang disclosed that the welfare of Nigerian workers would form part of the issues President Bola Tinubu would address in his maiden Independence Day broadcast to Nigerians on Sunday.
This plea is coming two days after the leaders of the NLC and the TUC said they will commence an indefinite strike on Tuesday, October 3, directing their state chapters to mobilize for protests across the country.
Meanwhile, the leaders of the two labour unions have resolved their differences that made only NLC embark on a two-day warning strike without the participation of TUC.
