The National Deputy President of TUC, Tommy Etim, made this known in an interview in Abuja on Monday after the concluded National Executive Council meeting.
Etim who doubles as the national president of the Association of Senior Civil Servants noted that the labour leaders met earlier and received recommendations from members of its NEC and would go ahead to meet with the representatives of the government later.
He said, “We just concluded our meeting a few hours ago and we received some recommendations from our members which we will convey to the government later today.”
Addressing journalists after the meeting, the NLC president, Joe Ajaero promised to meet with members of the union to consider the offers by the Federal Government to suspend the planned strike.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, noted that the two labour centres, the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress, had some agreements with the government and may end up suspending their proposed nationwide strike.
