The Nigerian government and Labour team met to discuss the removal of fuel subsidy, which led to a nationwide strike. Negotiations will continue tomorrow on the demands, with the government team stating that Labour's demands are "not impracticable." The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) leadership, which attended the meeting, declared its intention to go ahead with a strike. The government received more support for the subsidy removal from manufacturers, investors, and business concerns. The government will consider wage increases, with a tripartite committee consisting of the Federal Government, states, organized labour, and private sector. The committee will study the dynamics and categories affected.

Labour argues that the cost of living will rise with subsidy removal, reducing purchasing power. Minimum wage is the top priority.
