Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, in a last-minute closed-door meeting with Labour leaders to avert, proposed a mass rally.
The organised labour had planned a mass action in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, September 8.
The demands of labour include payment of outstanding salary arrears to teachers and healthcare workers, promotion arrears since 2015, payment of pension and gratuity to retired workers in the Rivers State in the last five years, and issuing of official circular to effect the payment of the new national minimum wage including the conclusion of negotiation for consequential wages adjustment.
Others are remittance of withheld check-off dues deductions to unions in the state, unsealing of Rivers State Secretariat of the NLC, withdrawal of trumped-up charges against labour leaders in the State, and cessation of harassment and assault on workers in the oil-rich state.
