The Federal Government has postponed the earlier scheduled meeting with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) till next Tuesday.
The meeting was earlier scheduled to hold at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Saturday.
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, who facilitated the meeting, told journalists recently that a government delegation would meet with the labour and other civil society groups on the recent increase in the pump price of petrol and electricity tariff.
But the NLC immediately rejected the invitation to the meeting owing to the short notice given by the government.
The Deputy Director, Press and Public Relations, Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, Charles Akpan, disclosed the new date via a text message to journalists on Saturday.
While disclosing the new date, Akpan said: “The meeting has been rescheduled to Tuesday, 15th September at 10:00 a.m. The venue is Banquet Hall of Presidential Villa, Abuja, This is to accommodate all participants.”
