- Talks between the federal government and the organised labour hit a deadlock on Wednesday evening as no consensus was reached
- The hours-long meeting was to, among other things, prevent a labour crisis following the recent increase in petrol pump prices occasioned by petroleum subsidy removal
- After the meeting, NLC president, Joe Ajaero, said, “As far as labour is concerned, we didn’t have a consensus in this meeting”
The meeting between the organised labour and the federal government representatives on the removal of subsidy on fuel ended in a stalemate as no agreement was reached.
The meeting at the Conference Hall of the Chief of Staff to the President at the State House, Abuja, came after the announcement by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that subsidy on fuel had gone and new prices of the Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) introduced by Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited.
