Oluwagbemi disclosed that some buses were ready for deployment, with plans to commence local assembly for additional vehicles, including tricycles, by March to April 2024.
However, despite the government's assurances, President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, and Deputy President of TUC, Tommy Okon, maintained their stance on the 14-day ultimatum.
They expressed the importance of promptly implementing the agreed-upon terms to address the concerns of Nigerian workers and citizens effectively.
