Negotiate before strike - Senator Ali Ndume advises NLC

Former Senate leader Mohammed Ali Ndume has called on the national leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to call off its planned strike,

Ndume, in a statement issued on Sunday, urged the labour leaders to return to the negotiation table and sort out areas of disagreement with the federal government before opting for industrial action.

He said: “This fuel subsidy removal is something we must do now or never. We need to open the wounds now and begin to heal them. The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, needs to work with the government to see how the effects can be minimised. If we don’t remove the subsidy now, some people will continue to milk this country. NLC should go to the negotiation table with the federal government. The NLC should not go on strike before negotiations. They should not make that mistake.

The NLC President, Joe Ajaero, disclosed this while addressing journalists on the resolutions of its National Executive Council meeting held in Abuja on Friday.
