The Federal Government has reconvened a meeting with the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) for a continuation of the discussions on the removal of petroleum subsidy.
President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Joe Ajaero, and members of his national executives, who boycotted last night’s discussion, arrived at the Presidential Villa around 5 pm on Monday for the meeting.
The Chief of Staff to the President, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, is attending the meeting as well as the Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Limited, Malam Mele Kyari.
The meeting, which comes 48 hours ahead of the proposed nationwide strike by the NLC over the removal of subsidy, is the second to hold in less than a week.
The leadership of the Trade Union Congress met with the Federal Government committee last night, and presented a list of demands before the government, the top of which is an increase in the minimum wage and a reversal to the old pump price while negotiations are ongoing.
