The labour centre is expected to meet with representatives of the government on whether the offer by the government was accepted by the members.
The national deputy president of the TUC, Tommy Etim, made this known in an interview with our correspondent in Abuja on Monday.
When asked, 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.”
The PUNCH reports that on Sunday, President Bola Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, noted that the two labour centres, the Nigeria Labour Congress and the TUC, had some agreements with the government and may end up suspending their proposed nationwide strike.
According to Gbajabiamila, the Federal Government had agreed to come up with measures that would address the dispute arising from the removal of the fuel subsidy.
Addressing journalists after the meeting, the NLC president promised to meet with members of the union to consider the offers by the FG to suspend the planned strike.
