The meeting between the Federal Government and the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) over fuel subsidy removal has ended without a consensus.

The meeting began around 4pm on Wednesday at the Presidential Villa.

Representatives of the Federal Government, including Dele Alake, the spokesperson for President Bola Tinubu; and the Group CEO of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, Mele Kyari.

Others government officials present were the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele; former Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole.

The Organised Labour was represented by the NLC National President, Joe Ajaero; and the President of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC), Festus Osifo.

After several hours of meeting with the Federal Government, the NLC demanded that the Federal Government return to status quo by reversing the price of fuel before resuming negotiations with the NLC.

The National President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, who criticised the removal of subsidy stated that statusquo returns before any formal engagement with the NLC, to protect the Nigerian workforce and proffer additional solutions.

The NLC insisted that the Federal Government did not enter into any conversation even on palliative measures for Nigerians, hence the rejection of the latest announcement.
The union said it had decided to reconvene with its members to determine the next line of action.

Conversely, Alake described the meeting as robust, adding that talks would continue. He expressed hope that the parties would reach a reasonable conclusion at its next adjourned meeting.

‘Fuel Subsidy Is Gone’

On Monday during his inaugural speech at the Eagle Square in Abuja, President Bola Tinubu said the era of subsidy payment on fuel has ended, adding that with the 2023 budget making no provision for fuel subsidy, further payment was no longer justifiable.

“The fuel subsidy is gone,” Tinubu said. His government would instead channel funds into infrastructure and other areas to strengthen the economy, he added.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and House Of Representatives have since backed Tinubu’s decision.

However, the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) argued the President could not unilaterally take a decision on subsidy removal, saying there was a reason the immediate past administration of Muhammadu Buhari pushed the “sensitive issue” to the new government.

Fuel queues have since resurfaced across the country since the presidential pronouncement as Nigerians forage for the premium product.

Let's all "enjoy" the cruise.

Next meeting when?

Just arrest the head of the TUC and NLC, no time for nonsense.
We can't keep shifting the evil day, let's fate reality and move on.

NIGERIA IS BROKE.
BUHARI MESSED UP THE COUNTRY ALREADY.

BUHARI IS THE WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO NIGERIA, HE'S A COMPLETE DISASTER

Okay

Even if they decide to share the 400B for all of una, na 2K monthly go reach one head.

E get people wey the subsidy dey really favor.

As usual...

BUARRRI BUARRI BUAARII
ITS MY TURN
😆😆😆😆😆

They couldn't agree on a price.
It will be resolved once the alert is received.

K



What are they hoping to achieve

We have to end Subsidy but the people that benefit from these scams will never go down without a fight. Subsidy scam has been institutionalized we need to fight it and stop with the emotions.
Kudos to GEJ that attempted it but gave in to blackmail and attacks. Buhari didn’t have the balls so couldn’t bite the bullet.

We can’t afford to look back this time however there must be cushion as these will cause hyperinflation but we will be fine at the long run and also the FG should cut the cost of governance so it shouldn’t be the masses that would make sacrifice.
We all must sacrifice.

And to those people shouting Tinubu can never be my president. I hope you are buying your own fuel for 180 naira.
Presidency is not just a name but an authority.

Better days ahead

Omo

Meeting meeting meeting

Arrest the chairman of NLC and TUC you said? You really are a kid to be saying that. Try and touch him and see NLC and TUC shut down the whole country. No be capping

You are on your own

It should be sold at 1k per litre. We know those that can afford it and those that can't but trek and jump molue!

Jagaban do not budge! Leave the fuel price at N600 when the dirty clothes can't afford it, they will reduce the pepper and oil in their soups and Channel the costs into transportation. That's subsidy.

Make Dem do something

I'm working hard to get just 5million
I'm off from this shit place

Let them strike if they want, when eye clear they will buy the petrol to go back to work. This subsidy must never return.

Spokesperson of President Tinubu? A day after inauguration?

So the FG for now is Tinubu, Remi Tinubu and Shettima, Abeg did NLC meet them?
