The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has announced that its members will convene to determine the next steps following the expiration of their ultimatum to the Federal Government today (Saturday).

This information was shared by Benson Upah, the acting Secretary-General of the NLC, in a conversation with Punch.

One month ago, the NLC issued an ultimatum to the Federal Government, demanding resolutions to the ongoing issues affecting universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.

The deadline for that ultimatum passed on Friday, and Upah has stated that the NLC remains dedicated to maintaining industrial harmony within tertiary institutions.

He remarked, “In accordance with our commitment and in pursuit of our unwavering dedication to the just causes of the unions in tertiary institutions, the appropriate bodies of the Congress will meet to decide on the next course of action.

“You will be informed in due course.”
