The federal government and the representatives of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have commenced another round of meeting to discuss fallouts from the removal of fuel subsidy.
The ongoing meeting at Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja, started around 5pm.
Recall that the organised labour, including the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the TUC, held an inconclusive meeting with the government on Wednesday.
At today’s meeting, the federal government’s team is being led by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume.
