The minister of labour, Chris Ngige, later said the government would not continue with the negotiations if the strike was not called off.
The labour union decided to embark on a nationwide strike action, following the increase of the pump price of fuel to N145.
The Federal Government announced the increase on Wednesday, May 11, 2016.
