Federal Government representatives and the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), resumed talks on steps to mitigate the effects of the removal of fuel subsidy by the President Bola Tinubu administration.

Briefing State House correspondents after the meeting, the government and the Organised Labour said they have agreed to set up a steering committee that would receive reports from other sub- committees within eight weeks.

The Organised Labour had on June 5 suspended its planned nationwide strike over the removal of subsidy following the agreement reached with the Federal government.

Among agreements reached on June 5, was the establishment of a joint committee to review the proposal for any wage increase or award and establish a framework and timeline for implementation.
