A statement signed by the Deputy Director in the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Mr. Charles Akpan, said the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, would be hosting the meeting at the Banquet Hall, of the Presidential Villa in Abuja. He said the meeting was “a bilateral dialogue meant to consider the state of the economy and events that have necessitated recent increases in electricity tariffs and the price of petrol.”

He said Nigerian workers, who had lost their jobs and means of livelihood due to the pandemic- imposed challenges are being forced to make further sacrifices through an unbearable increase in prices of the essentials.
