On the crisis that bedeviled the six tertiary educational institutions in the state, the NLC chairman disclosed that negotiations would continue on Wednesday 31st January 2018.
“Negotiations and consultations are on-going and will resume on Wednesday, January 31, 2018. We have a responsibility to maintain industrial harmony in the state,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Secretary to State Government, Mr. Olalekan Alli, who led other government functionaries to the meeting, said the meeting was in line with government’s statement that its door was open for dialogue.
Alli commended the labour leaders for the understanding and maturity displayed so far.
