Led by Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President Joe Ajaero, the labour team expressed their dissatisfaction with the absence of the government's representatives during the scheduled meeting on Friday.
Earlier discussions held on Wednesday had shown positive signs of progress, with the government expected to provide feedback on the demands made by labour.
However, when the meeting was set to reconvene on Friday, the government's representatives were reportedly missing, leading to frustration among the labour officials.
As the meeting did not proceed as planned, members of the labour team faced delays at the State House gate before being granted access to the meeting venue.
Despite the setback, the labour representatives refrained from making any statements to journalists as they left the venue.
The removal of the petrol subsidy has resulted in a surge in fuel prices, impacting the cost of living for Nigerians.
Organised labour is advocating for palliatives to cushion the effects of the subsidy removal and has threatened to initiate a strike if their demands are not met.
The ongoing deliberations between the government and labour are crucial in addressing the concerns of the citizens and finding a viable solution to mitigate the economic challenges posed by the subsidy removal.
As the dialogue continues, both parties must engage in constructive discussions to reach a resolution that ensures the welfare of the people and fosters a stable economic environment.
