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

While the President of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC), Festus Osifo said no consensus was reached at the meeting, hence negotiations are still ongoing

On his part, the Federal government’s spokesperson Alake described the meeting as robust, adding that talks would continue.

Emefiele Begs NLC To Shelve Protest Over Naira Scarcity

The governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele has appealed to the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, to prevail on the leadership of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) over its planned protest slated for Wednesday.

The leadership of NLC had last Friday mobilized its affiliate unions and the State Councils to shut down offices of the apex bank nationwide over current cash scarcity in the country.

But in a closed-door meeting at the headquarters of Ministry of Labour and Employment in Abuja, Emefiele was quoted as saying the protest would hinder the progress of the apex bank if not averted.

The President of NLC, Joe Ajaero led other Labour leaders while Emefiele led the apex bank officials to the meeting that was later presided over by the Minister.

An official of the ministry, who craved anonymity, said Emefiele promised to ensure that all commercial banks were given enough cash from the CBN’s vault.

None of those in attendance spoke to journalists after the closed-door meeting.

Tinubu Meets Labour Leaders, Promises To Tackle Unemployment

The Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu, has met the leaders of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) among others.

At the event, Tinubu told the labour leaders that his antecedents as former Lagos State Governor, during which he transformed the state and powered it to the 5th largest economy in Africa, speak for him.

He listed unemployment, lack of credit system to allow workers to own houses, poverty, challenges in the educational sector, and weak industrial base of the economy as some of the issues he will tackle as the President.

According to him, he has been in the forefront of fighting the government for good governance all his life when he was detained and eventually forced into exile.

While appreciating Tinubu for his presence, the NLC President presented the workers’ charter of demands which include a total war on corruption.
