According to Mr Wabba, the CWC identified that COVID-19 and the socioeconomic situation of the country has caused Nigerians enough suffering, and now the hike has reduced the purchasing power of Nigerians.
He said the CWC and the NEC also took reports of the meeting that took place between the federal government and organised labour where NLC was represented by 14 of its leaders. “In furtherance to this, the Central Working Committee resolved also to convene a meeting of the national executive council in line with our constitution, on September 22, 2020, Tuesday, to also give effect to this decision because the proposed action, will commence on Monday, September 28, 2020, if those issues are not addressed,” he said.
