One of the labour leaders who spoke with our correspondent on condition of anonymity said with the talk between the government side and the labour side, there was prospect that the strike would end soon.

The Commissioner for Information and Strategy in the state, Mr Adelani Baderinwa told our correspondent that the meeting was very fruitful and assured that the strike would come to an end soon.

According to him, "Today's meeting between Government of the State of Osun and labour leaders on the industrial action in the state was fruitful to the extent that there is tremendous progress in the negotiation."

"The government commends workers for their understanding, perseverance and support. The meeting continues tomorrow", Baderinwa said.
