As reported by Vanguard on Thursday morning, October 17, apart from the agreement on the modalities to crash transport fares and food prices, the government and labour also agreed to continue engagement and discussions.

The newspaper quoted a source as saying:

“The government also promised to summon a meeting of the economic council to impress it upon state governors to ensure the new minimum wage takes off across the country this month.

“It also promised to incorporate labour into the economic council, so labour will participate and monitor economic policies of government, instead of government throwing policies at labour and Nigerians that may result in agitation or protest.”
