At today’s negotiation, Mr. Jonathan offered to reduce the price of fuel from more than N140 to N120 per liter. Labor leaders rejected the offer, calling for a restoration of the price to N65. The Jonathan
administration precipitated the protests by announcing a blanket removal of fuel subsidy, leading to a dramatic rise of fuel prices to N141.
Prior to today’s stalemated negotiations, two sources in the Jonathan Presidency said that the president was going to agree to return subsidies pending further talks with labor in April of this year.
However, an emboldened Jonathan insisted at the talks that his government could not go below N120 as the per liter price of fuel. “I believe that pro-government labor leaders must have encouraged government to adopt that position,” said one source, adding that some representatives of labor were cozy with officials of the Jonathan government.
Why are they doing this?...why wont they understand the risk pple will live in by increasin it from N65 to N120 or N141....theres no difference...when they r ready to make good effort..we wil listen
