 A federal government has invited the Nigerian Labour Congress over the union's plan to go on indefinite strike, while the NOC is planning a nationwide shutdown owing to the removal of fuel subsidy and hardship in the country. Labour and Employment Minister Simon Lalung has invited them for discussions. He quoted the ministers, reiterating President Balatinova's government's commitment to always engage the organised Labour and respond to each consent after due consultation and negotiations. And this is in order to guarantee industrial harmony, which is critical to the attainment of the renewed hope agenda.
