The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) boycotted talks with the Federal Government yesterday and presented a list of demands, including an increase in minimum wage, tax holiday, and revert to status quo. The government acknowledged the feasibility of the demands, but stated that they would be presented to President Bola Tinubu with immediate effect. The NLC had insisted that government must revert to the previous petrol pump price. The government's delegation told State House Correspondents that most of the demands were not impracticable and would be tabled before the president. The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has been absent from the meeting, but negotiations are continuing with all labour unions and stakeholders.
