Gatekeepers News reports that President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, and members of his national executives arrived at the Presidential Villa around 5 pm on Monday for the meeting.

Also, the meeting comes 48 hours ahead of the proposed nationwide strike by the NLC over the removal of subsidy
The leadership of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) had hours ago met with the FG committee and presented a list of demands before the government, the top of which is an increase in the minimum wage and a reversal to the old pump price while negotiations are ongoing.
