The meeting was initially scheduled to hold on Monday by 3pm but was rescheduled to 7pm Sunday and will take place at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa.

The orgainised labor unions had earlier said, there is no going back on its planned strike action on despite a court order restraining them from embarking on a nationwide industrial action on Monday.

Labour is insisting that the federal government reverse the increase in the pump price of petrol and electricity tariff, following the current state of the economy and the effect of the coronavirus on Nigerians.
