President Bola Tinubu is currently in a closed door meeting with members of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) at the presidential villa in Aso Rock Abuja.

Naija News had earlier reported that the unions embarked on protests across States in the country on Wednesday over the removal of petrol subsidy without adequate palliative measures.

The unions, through planned protest, expressed displeasure over what it described as the unfavorable policies of the President Bola Tinubu-led government.

The meeting has in attendance the NLC president Joe Ajaero, TUC president Festus Osifo, and other delegates.

Speaking about the meeting, the labour leaders, who exited the Villa about 30 minutes after they arrived at 5:38 pm, said the President made some commitments to address some issues which need immediate attention.

They said they would report to their executive committees where a decision would be taken on the ongoing protest, adding that Labour would conduct its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Thursday and all the issues would be considered.
