The Presidential Steering Committee on Palliatives, is meeting now at the Chief of Staff Conference Hall, Aso Rock, Abuja.

The Committee is comprised of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and government representatives

When the meeting held last week Friday, the organized labour stormed out of the meeting fuming that there was no top government officials to negotiate with them and accused government of not being serious with issues at hand.

That meeting was meant for the Committee to take briefings from three subcommittees of Mass Transit, the CNG and Cash Transfer, which the government had proposed to cushion the effect of the subsidy removal.

The NLC President, Joe Ajaero; his TUC counterpart, Festus Osifo; the General Secretary of NLC, Emma Ugbaja; the TUC Secretary, Nuhu Toro and other members of the organized labour are present at the meeting.
