The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and the leadership of the upper-lawmaking body are meeting the organised labour at the National Assembly complex in Abuja.

According to the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) president Comrade Joe Ajaero, labour visited the lawmakers at the invitation of the Senate over their grievances about the subsidy removal.

At the meeting, Comrade Ajaero says the increase in the cost of PMS without anything on the ground to ameliorate the suffering is unfortunate.

He added that during the protest which organized labour took to the National Assembly, the unions presented a document that encapsulates their demands and it the belief that the leadership has looked at the document.

The NLC boss argued that Nigerians are suffering because of the increase in PMS which is at the centre of economic activities and it affects everyone when it’s touched.

Organised labour is pushing for a reduction in the pump price of petroleum among others.

Asides from the NLC chief, the President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) Comrade Festus Osifo and some members of the unions, are also in the meeting.

The TUC and NLC are also demanding an increase in minimum wage among others.

Recently, they organised a nationwide protest to push their demands but suspended it after a meeting with the Federal Government which took them to court (later withdrew the case).
