He said that the labour union and the management of NEMA reached an agreement after an all night meeting which was conveyed by Dr Chris Ngige, Minister of Labour and Employment.
According to him, workers across the federation are hereby directed to resume their normal duties with immediate effect.
Bello said that an agreement was signed by all the parties and gave a maximum of two weeks for the management to meet all the workers’ demands as contained in the Sept. 26 agreement.
Datti said that those present at the meeting were the Management of NEMA led by Engr. Mustapha Maihaja, NEMA Director General and representatives of the national body of the labour union represented by the National President of Trade Union Congress (TUC).
