Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The scheduled meeting between the Federal Government and the labour unions did not hold as expected on Friday, NAN reports.<\/p>\n

The meeting was part of the process of arriving at sustainable decisions on the palliatives to be provided to Nigerians due to the removal of the subsidy on petrol by the Federal Government.<\/p>\n

After a meeting on Wednesday, the President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Mr Festus Osifo, said talks would continue on Friday.<\/p>\n

An official of one of the unions at the meeting scheduled for Friday, however, told State House correspondents that the meeting could not be held because of a lack of quorum.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe meeting did not form a quorum. We are people that operate on the basis of process. So, if there\u2019s no quorum in a meeting, what do you do? You will adjourn for lack of quorum,\u201d said the official, who pleaded anonymity.<\/p>\n

The federal government had pledged to continue to work out measures to ameliorate the effect of the fuel subsidy removal on Nigerians.<\/p>\n

These measures include the introduction of compressed natural gas (CNG), mass transportation, and cleaner energy alternatives.<\/p>\n
