President Bola Tinubu late on Tuesday met with leaders of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in a last-minute effort to avert the union’s planned nationwide protest over worsening insecurity.
The meeting took place at the State House, Abuja, and commenced at about 11:27pm.
Joe Ajaero, NLC president, was present alongside Hope Uzodimma, Imo governor and chairman of the Progressives Governors Forum.
Nasir Idris, Kebbi governor, and Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, minister of labour and employment, also attended the talks.
Discussions focused on addressing labour’s concerns and preventing the escalation of the planned protest.
