LEADERS of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, led by Ayuba Wabba, will meet today in Abuja, to critically review the ongoing nationwide strike and protests to force government to reverse the N145 pump price of petrol to the pre-Wednesday 11 price of N86.50.

The meeting is coming following appeals by the President of Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Yakubu Dogara, and the National Leader of All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to them to call off the industrial action and return to negotiating table with the Federal Government.

The action had so far recorded low turn out with workers in Lagos State, the economic nerve centre of the country, Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, and Rivers State, shunning the strike.

On Thursday, the leadership of the National Assembly, in a meeting with the factional leaders, appealed to them to call off the strike.

Speaking with Sunday Vanguard, General Secretary of NLC, Dr. Peter Ozo-Eson, said they would be meeting today to review the situation and determine the next line of action, saying, “We will be meeting tomorrow (today) to review the situation to determine the next line of action. After the meeting, a communique will be issued on the outcome.”

Equally, leaders of JAF will meet in Lagos today to review the situation, but have resolved to continue the action tomorrow.

A text message by Mr. Abiodun Aremu, JAF Secretary, said the meeting would take place at 2 pm to plan how to re-strategise the protest and mass action to force government to reverse the hike in the pump price of petrol and electricity tariff.

yea....but consider those in private sector plus the traders... The minimum wage won't favour them...that's why they also have to revisit the fuel subsidy and set things right

We Yorubas have a saying that: bi oni kinni nla ba mbani sun, nise ni waa maa gbin

Meaning if a man with big diiick is making love to you as a woman, you just sigh in consent till he is done and pulls out

In this instance, APC is the proverbial ' man with big diiick' fuckiiiing with us now, so we just need to sigh and grunt our consent till 2019

Subsidy was not removed, otherwise they wouldn't have regulated it to 145, marketers will be the ones to fix there prices.

What i see here is, the government is still subsidizing the product but just a litle is being paid.
