The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have announced an emergency joint extraordinary National Executive Council (NEC) meeting scheduled for 7 pm today.
This development comes in the wake of a meeting between organized labor and the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.
According to reports, the National Vice President of the TUC, Tommy Etim, disclosed the emergency meeting in an interview with The PUNCH in Abuja.

Etim revealed that the NSA briefed the leadership of the organized labor on the steps taken so far and that the union leaders secured the commitment of the NSA.
“We commend the steps taken so far by the NSA. He made us understand that he didn’t see the issue on the ground as a political fight. He also noted that two people have been arrested in line with the brutalization of Ajaero.
“Initially, the government felt the strike would not hold. They were shocked to see that we went ahead with our threats. We are going to have an extraordinary joint NEC this evening by 7 pm and I can tell you there is hope,” Etim stated.
It can be recalled that Ribadu met with the leadership of the organized labor in his office in Abuja earlier in the day, where he announced that the individuals responsible for the brutalization of Ajaero had been arrested.
