NLC finally meets FG over petrol subsidy removal

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the representatives of the federal government team are currently meeting over the fallout of the petrol subsidy removal.

Joe Ajaero, president of the NLC, and his team arrived at the presidential villa at about 5:45pm on Monday.

The NLC was absent at the meeting between the government representatives and organised labour on Sunday.

Representatives of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) were however in attendance.

During his inauguration speech on May 29, President Bola Tinubu declared that “petrol subsidy is gone”.

The president’s pronouncement immediately led to a resurfacing of queues at petrol stations and a hike in the pump price of the product across the country.

Organised labour had subsequently met with the government team but the sit-down ended in deadlock and was rescheduled for Sunday
