Talks between the Federal Government and the organised labour hit a deadlock on Wednesday evening as no consensus was reached
The marathon meeting ,held at the Presidential Villa , Abuja ,was to, among other ,things, prevent a labour crisis following the recent increase in petrol pump price, occasioned by the discontinuance of petroleum subsidy.
Speaking at the end of the meeting, the President of the Nigerian Labour Congress,(NLC), Mr. Joe Ajaero, said, “As far as labour is concerned, there was no consensus at .the meeting.’
He faulted the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)Limited over an official release published hours earlier, reviewing the petrol pump price in its filling stations nationwide.
He said that the move had put the labour union in a difficult position on the negotiation table.
