These include infrastructure revitalisation fund of N15bn for the sector and the release of 10 months arrears of the new minimum wage within a yet to be determined period.
But the union insists some of its demands are still hanging and until they are addressed, the strike will continue.
It is hopeful pending issues will be resolved at the April 27th rescheduled meeting with the federal government.
