Tension is mounting across the country as the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) signals fresh consultations with its key organs following a high-level meeting with President Bola Tinubu.
The emergency talks, held amid growing public anxiety over economic hardship, have sparked intense speculation on whether the labour movement will press ahead with its planned nationwide protest or soften its stance after engaging the Presidency.
Sources within the NLC say the leadership is set to brief its critical decision-making bodies, a move that could determine the next phase of action and the direction of the unfolding standoff between organised labour and the Federal Government.
With millions of Nigerians watching closely, the outcome of these consultations may either calm rising tensions or ignite mass protests across the nation in the days ahead.
