Representatives of organised labour on Friday walked out of a meeting with the Presidential Steering Committee on Subsidy Palliatives held at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja.
President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, was reported to have led the delegation to the office of the Chief of Staff to the President around 5:00 p.m. but was soon spotted exiting the building.
FG’s representatives and that of labour had earlier met on Wednesday where both parties agreed to reconvene on Friday to get a brief from the government’s subcommittees on mass transit, compressed natural gas and cash transfer.
However, the meeting could not hold as planned as labour officials claimed that the government’s representatives were not present.
It was further gathered that members of the labour teams were also delayed at the State House gate before being allowed into the meeting venue.
The reason for the delay was that the names of members of the delegation were not sent to the gate early enough for clearance.
