The development was confirmed by the President of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, Comrade Festus Osifo on Monday.

Osifo said labour leaders comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress and TUC were heading to the SGF office for the meeting.

“Yes, we are heading there now,” Osifo confirmed to our correspondent.

A source, who is attending the meeting, said the outcome would determine if labour would call off the ongoing strike which paralysed economic activities on Monday.

On Monday, the nationwide strike called by organised labour paralysed economic activities nationwide.

Banks, schools, flights, and other economic activities were disrupted on Monday as a result of the ongoing strike.
