The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has raised an alarm that soldiers have surrounded the venue of its meeting with the federal government over minimum wage negotiation.

“Soldiers are presently surrounding the venue of the meeting between Labour and Government at the premises of the SGF,” NLC wrote on X.

In a post on its official X handle on Monday, NLC had earlier warned against any attempt to intimidate, provoke or blackmail its leaders at the negotiation table, which would worsen issues.

The union maintained that such development could further prolong its strike action indefinitely.
