 Organised Labour has insisted on going ahead with tomorrow's strike to protest against increasing hardship and rising costs of leaving due to the removal of petrol subsidy. This is despite assurance is granted by President Bolatino Boon last night in his nationwide broadcast that the government will take budgetary allocations for the implementation of the new minimum wage as soon as an agreement is reached by the President's steering committee and Labour unions. After the President got sworn in, in a matter of three weeks, by a fluctuation of time, there would have been no subsidy anyway and so he seized the moment and that's exactly what the leader does. He seized the moment and so he wouldn't have had three weeks to plan for politics. The politics are not things you just roll out on the drop of a hat. Politics are things that are planned and things that take time and even what he's about to do now. It's not overnight. They normally, you know, meet, I mean, small to meet, are measures and so that is to say that there was no way and no how anyone could have planned and rolled out the kind of policies we are rolling out now in a matter of two weeks. We have a president, a listening president, an engaging president, a president who want to have a conversation and react and he's doing that. He's really, genuinely, honestly doing it. So what we are talking on, what the appeal that we are making out to, just not the leaders, all Nigerians, please understand what is going on. Please give us that support that is needed and required. We are working. We are trying to change things. Anyone else in Lida, Agiro and his TLC counterpart, Osifo, spoke shortly after talks between organised labour and the federal government avert. The protest became inconclusive, noting that the peaceful rally would hold in line with its shadow. We just joined to listen to Mr President's speech and then to continue our conversation tomorrow by 12 noon. Our peaceful rally will go on as scheduled. You know, even if we didn't have this problem and would try to hold a rally, we still hold our rallies. So this rally has been fixed for a second and we'll go ahead. We've had an engagement where government at work did a presentation of what they think could be an alternative to PMS and also what could be the palliatives. And we felt that because they told us that the president is going to make a broadcast today and in that broadcast as well that some of these areas are going to be touched. So we felt it was wise for us to retract and we will listen to what the president has to say and we internalise it, we analyse it, then we'll not meet tomorrow to further our conversation. Meanwhile the meeting of the steering committee had just commenced 12 noon earlier 1st of August.
