The decision follows the controversial 50 per cent hike in telecom charges, which the labour union insists was implemented without due process.
This was contained in an MoU reached on Monday at a meeting convened by the federal government and the NLC over the proposed hike in telecom tariffs.
The position of the association was contained in a letter to the NLC, signed by Okonu Abdullahi, the General Secretary of PTECSSAN.
The protest is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, February 4.
According to the NLC, the federal government led by President Bola Tinubu should immediately reverse the latest hike in petrol price, as previous increases did not produce any positive result.
The NNPC raised the retail price of petrol to N1,030 from N897 per litre, across some of its retail outlets in the FCT. The new price, being the second increase in one month, after it earlier increased prices from N617/litre to N897/litre in September, represents a 14.8 percent or N133 rise.
The Eagle Online recalls Ajaero was arrested by operatives of the DSS on Monday at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
NLC has therefore fixed a National Executive Council, NEC, meeting for Tuesday, 9am to take appropriate response if Ajaero was not released.
The NLC confirmed this in a statement issued by its Head Media/Information, Benson Upah, made available to newsmen on Monday.

This time around, the second in a space of weeks, Ajaero is to appear with the General Secretary of the union, Emma Ugboaja.
Opara disclosed this on Thursday in Abuja, shortly after the labour leader in company with his lawyers returned from honouring the invitation by the Police.
The Eagle Online recalls that Ajaero was summoned on August 19 for questioning over allegations of terrorism financing, cybercrime, and other related offences.
Emmanuel Fashe, State Chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress, disclosed this to newsmen after a closed-door meeting with Fintiri.
The notice of the meeting was contained in a circular dated August 19, 2024, signed by its General Secretary, Comrade Emma Ugboaja.
The labour leader was allegedly abducted by operatives of the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team.
Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, offered the explanation in a statement he issued late on Friday.
The NLC said instead of clamping down on the protesters, President Tinubu should engage them in a dialogue.
The unions which include the Trade Union Congress, Nigeria Labour Congress and Joint Negotiation Council disclosed this in a letter written to Governor Dapo Abiodun.
