 Now the meeting between the federal government and the Nigeria Labor Congress to avert an imminent strike action has ended without concrete resolutions to the union's demands. The Minister of Labor and Employment, Simon LaLung, and the Minister of State for Labor and Employment, Nkiruka Onye-Jochar met with the NLC Press and Joe Argero, and other leaders in Abuja, in an effort to stop organized labor from embarking on another industrial action. The meeting is expected to continue at a later date. However, the Minister is also expected to hold a meeting with the leadership of the Trade Union Congress today. I fully acknowledge and appreciate the invaluable role the NLC plays in championing for the rights and welfare of our workers. Your dedication and tireless advocacy have been critical in shaping a fair and inclusive work environment and ensuring the well-being of our workforce. We acknowledge the varied grievances that have fuelled the recent labor crisis and we are committed to addressing them in a just and equitable manner. We must also recognize the economic realities that confront us. As we address the concerns of our workforce, we must be mindful of striking a path that promotes economic growth and secures sustainable progress for our nation. We come with mixed feelings on whether it will work or not, because we have had so many meetings, some beyond this level, and nothing seemed to be culling out of it. But as great optimists in the Nigerian project, we can stop trying. And then we raise the second issue of the version of the Office of the National Union of Road Transport Workers. So under your watch, the Trade Union Office has been violated. Police invaded it and removed the elected officers of that trade union office. They went ahead and killed somebody. As we talk now, those people are behind bars. The President and General Secretary of the Union. What are we negotiating? President and General Secretary of the Union duly elected. They sent police to send them away there. And then they are behind bars the fifth day and we are here. And I finish meeting with you and tell you that I've gone there to maintain peace. Even on that point, I've known our strike action will move ahead with you. Hello. Hope you enjoyed the news.
