Vice-President Namadi Sambo and state governors will meet on Monday (today) over the impending three-day warning strike by workers.
The strike, which is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, is intended to protest the delay in the implementation of the N18, 000 new minimum wage by the Federal Government.
THE PUNCH learnt from a top union leader on Sunday that labour leaders had been invited to Abuja for the meeting with Sambo and the governors in order to resolve the problem before Wednesday.
The source, who did not want to be named because he was not authorised to speak to journalists on the issue, is one of those invited to the meeting.
He explained that the vice-president had to step in when the meeting between the labour leaders and the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chief Emeka Wogu, ended in a deadlock on Friday.
