The federal government committee negotiating with the organised labour on how to mitigate the hardship of removal of fuel subsidy is led by Mr Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila. The organised labour said Mr Gbajabiamila refused to hold a negotiation meeting with them, a development that makes demands of the NLC delayed. The National President of NLC, Joe Ajaero, made this known when he met with the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, and other principal officers of the Senate at the National Assembly on Tuesday. They demanded that the federal government reverse the removal of petroleum subsidy for them to have a meaningful life. Mr Akpabio promised that the Senate will intervene and that the demands of Nigerian workers will be met by the federal government.
