Chieftainns of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), remained incommunicado snubbing frequent calls by FG to commence fresh dialogue slated for Sunday over the impasse that has trailed subsidy removal.
NLC meeting with the Federal Govetnment ended in stalemate on Wednesday as both parties agreed to meet on Sunday, but NLC top brass failed to honor the meeting, stressing that it will not consult with FG until 200 per cent hike in the pump price of petrol is returned to old price
“officials of government have been calling us and we have bluntly told them that we will no longer hold any meeting with them until the pump price of petrol is returned to pre-May 29 price.
“In other words, the pump price of petrol has to return to status quo to give room for negotiation and way forward.’’ NLC told pressmen on Sunday
Recall President Bola Tinubu’s had announced the removal of the subsidy during his inauguration speech on May 29.
