FG To NLC Let's Re-Negotiate This

The Federal Government said it will return to the negotiation
table with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) over the
increase in the price of petrol.
A statement by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr.
Chris Ngige says the Federal Government appreciates all
the important issues raised by the labour unions and has
taken them into consideration.
It expresses the readiness of the Federal Government
negotiating team to recommence discussions with the NLC
led by Comrade Ayuba Wabba in compliance with the
directive of the National Industrial Court for both parties to
further explore alternative dispute resolution mechanisms.
The statement adds that the Government is resolute in
making sure that the economy is not only strong but able to
provide jobs and opportunities for all Nigerians.
It further reiterates the commitment of the Federal
Government to implement the Memorandum of
Understanding on palliative measures already signed by the
other sensitive unions to cushion the effects of the increase
in the pump price of petrol.
