Hardship: Protest goes on as Nigerian govt, labour meeting ends in deadlock

A last-minute meeting between the Federal Government and organized labour to stave off the planned protest against the current economic hardship in the country ended in a deadlock on Monday night.

The NLC and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) had planned a nationwide rally for February 27 and February 28 to protest the rising prices of food items and other costs of living in the country.

The federal government had earlier on Monday urged the NLC to shelve the protest.
