The Minister of Labour and Employment, Simon Lalong, has appealed to labour to shelve the strike.
In a statement by the spokesperson of the ministry, Olajide Oshundu, on Tuesday, the minister said the government was determined to address the issues.
He also said the government has met one of the demands of labour, which is the release of the leadership of the Nigeria Union of Road Transport workers (NURTW).
Mr Lalong asked the workers’ union to give the government more time to address the remaining issues.
Also, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, on Tuesday pleaded with the unions to halt the proposed strike.
Mr Abbas said the strike will aggravate the current economic challenges facing the country.
He said the House would mediate between them and the federal government to fast-track an agreement.
