NLC, TUC Leaders Meet With Tinubu In Aso Rock

NLC and TUC leaders met with Tinubu at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.

Glamtush reports that amid nationwide protests, the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Joe Ajaero, and his counterpart of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC), Festus Osifo, met with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa on Wednesday.

The meeting comes just hours after the unions followed through on their plans to protest the economic hardship triggered by the discontinuance of petrol subsidy, as Tinubu announced on May 29.

The labour leaders, who exited the Villa about 30 minutes after they arrived at 5:38 pm, said the President made some commitments to address some issues which need immediate attention.

They said they would report to their executive committees where a decision would be taken on the ongoing protest, adding that Labour would conduct its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Thursday and all the issues would be considered.
