The NLC and the TUC had said that the federal government refused their request to use the venue for the Workers Day celebration.
The Director of Press and Public Relations, Ministry of Labour and Employment, Olajide Oshundun, said this in a statement on Saturday in Abuja.
“The attention of the Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen. Chris Ngige has been drawn to press releases and statements in the media that the Federal Government disapproved of the NLC using the Eagle Square for the annual May Day parade. “This is, as well as minor communication gap between the FCDA, the Federal Government Transition Committee and the NLC,’’ he said.
“This May Day is the last in the life of this administration. The NLC parade belongs to everybody, including government, diplomatic missions, international organisations, organised labour and affiliate unions and members of the public.
