The Federal Government and Organised Labour are expected to meet on Monday to review labour issues in the power sector and the education sector.

Top on the agenda will be the non-payment of terminal benefits for thousands of sacked workers, and alleged victimization of labour leaders in the massive sack of workers immediately after the take-over of the assets of Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN.

The Academic Staff Union Of Universities, ASUU, would also be meeting on the same day with the leadership of the Nigeria Labor Congress, a day after the union advised parents not to endanger the lives of their children and wards by sending them to their university campuses.

ASUU, which also told its members not to sign attendance registers in their institutions, accused the Federal Government of lack of consistency in its statements on the ongoing strike.

However, the Senate President, Senator David Mark, has pleaded with ASUU to reconsider their position and return to classes to salvage the already battered education sector from further deterioration.

In a press statement, senator mark also urged the Federal Government not to use the sledge hammer on ASUU on account of the lingering strike.
