The Federal Government has said talks with organized Labour regarding the fuel subsidy removal will be concluded on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the NLC was absent at the Sunday’s meeting.
Among the demands put forward by the Labour movement, the foremost priority is the issue of the minimum wage, which they argued is a consequential impact of the subsidy removal. He said the removal of fuel subsidy has led to an immediate impact on workers’ purchasing power due to the rise in fuel prices, and addressing this concern was of utmost importance to the government.
He emphasised that the focus was solely on mitigating the impact of subsidy removal on workers, and not on political partisanship. During the NEC meeting, the TUC’s leadership was mandated with a comprehensive list of demands, addressing issues such as the minimum wage.
