The Nigeria Labour Congress has accused the Federal Government of delaying the negotiations on post-subsidy palliatives for workers four months after the removal of the fuel subsidy which has compounded the hardships in the country.
In response to the perceived lethargy of the government, the organised labour will on Tuesday hold an emergency National Executive Council meeting where it will take decisions on its next steps.
A top official of the NLC, who spoke with the Punch on Monday, hinted that the congress might take drastic action to compel the Federal Government to return to the negotiation table.
The PUNCH further gathered that the NLC believed that the Federal Government had been given sufficient time to act, noting that it was now four months since the subsidy was removed without any action taken by the Federal Government to assuage the workers’ pains.
