Fuel Subsidy: NLC Shuns Meeting With FG

By Udesinanna Stephen

The Nigeria Labour Congress has shunned a meeting with the Federal Government to negotiate fuel pump price.

Government delegations met yesterday with Trade Union and others on Sunday, but NLC was absent.

The spokesman for the government’s delegation, Dele Alake, said, “The Labour Union was absent at the meeting.

“We are making efforts to reach NLC. We all agreed that we are going to meet here, but again, in this game, there are dynamics. Sometimes, they could be meeting with their own executives and not able to meet with us, or they could want to postpone, or they have not actually articulated their list of demands as the TUC.

“But we cannot second guess why they are not here. But efforts are being made to reach them; we are not isolating them at all,” he said

At the time of this report, Roundoffnews is yet to ascertain the cause of the Union’s absence.
