This was part of the resolution reached on Monday during a meeting between the federal government and representatives of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) led by its president, Joe Ajaero, and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) led by Festus Osifo held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Speaking to newsmen after the meeting, The Special Adviser to the President on Communications, Special Duties and Strategy, Dele Alake said “We reconvened today. And then, both parties went through this list. And we ticked off the viable ones; those things are broken into three different categories; the immediate, those that are low-hanging fruit, then the medium term and the long term.
“There’s a steering committee that will be like a clearing house. Where are there other work groups set up comprising both parties, government and labor members, and these work groups will work together very, very harmoniously and efficiently to arrive at the final resolution of all those demands; what we call interventions,” Alake said.
