Other resolutions arrived at the meeting include: “Continued engagements by the TUC and the NLC with the Federal Government and secure closure on the resolutions above. Recall that Mr Femi Gbajabimila said, “all other demands submitted by the TUC to the Federal Government will be assessed by the joint committee,”
On his part, the NLC President, Mr Joe Ajaero, said, “These are the framework for us to follow in achieving some of the agreements reached here. You can see that it is not yet in concrete terms. So, at the adjourned date, we will go into more specifics to make sure this knotty issue is resolved.”
Also, the President of TUC, Festus Osifo, said the organised labour are committed to resolving the issues raised and alleviating the suffering of those vulnerable Nigerians following the discontinuance of subsidy and urged the FG to take the resolutions seriously.
