This is contained in a statement signed by the Director of Information and Public Relations, Segun Imohiosen, through the office of the SGF.

He said that a formal presentation of the Report will be made to President Bola Tinubu for appropriate action, when the leadership of the Organised Labour as well as representatives of Government and Organised Private Sector, who are presently in Geneva, Switzerland for the ongoing International Labour Organisation (ILO) Conference, return to the country.
