Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The federal government has expressed confidence that the labour unions will shift their proposed industrial action, scheduled to begin on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, disclosed this to newsmen after a closed-door meeting with the leadership of the unions on Tuesday in Abuja.<\/p>\n

He said that the unions have accepted the proposal for palliatives to cushion the effect of the fuel subsidy removal, as announced on Monday by President Bola Tinubu in a nationwide broadcast.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019We appealed to labour to call off the strike tomorrow. And they all agreed that Mr President\u2019s broadcast was a welcome development and they will go back home to talk to the leaders that are not here today.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019So, we are hopeful that they will do the right thing and call off the strike tomorrow,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Festus Osifo, Trade Union Congress National President, said that the meeting with the federal government was fruitful based on the broadcast of Mr President on Monday.<\/p>\n

He said that the unions were informed by government representatives that the various palliatives proposed by the president were just the baseline and that more palliatives would be coming.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019For us, we felt that the President has said that N1 trillion has been saved in the last two months, so what he proposed is not far reaching.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Now, as part of the principle of negotiation, when anything is put on the table, you\u2019ll accept it but push for more.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019So on our path, we\u2019ve said that what you put on the table is not enough, and that they can do more.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019We think, for example, that 3,000 buses are not sufficient. By the time you divide 3,000 by 37, you will see how many they would come up to,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
