Labour leaders currently in a meeting with the representatives of the Federal Government at the office of Secretary to the Government of the Federation have raised the alarm over the presence of soldiers.
A top leader of the Trade Union Congress who confided in our correspondent under anonymity said, “Maybe you can escalate it. At the moment we are still inside, we don’t know what is happening outside nor do we know the purpose of their gathering or surrounding the premises of the SGF office.”
Another leader of the Nigeria Labour Congress also confirmed the presence of the soldiers.
The PUNCH has reported how the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, summoned the leadership of the Organised Labour for a meeting.
Though the source did not reveal the reason for the meeting, it won’t be unconnected with the minimum wage and ongoing strike across the country.
