Following the removal of fuel subsidies in Nigeria, the Nigeria Labour Congress called for protests in Lagos and Abuja to demand more support for citizens affected by the price hike.

The Federal Government offered N500bn in palliatives, but the NLC argued that this was not enough.

The protests are indicative of the widespread dissatisfaction with the government's economic policies, which have caused hardship for many Nigerians.

The meeting between the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Nigerian government ended in a deadlock on the issue of fuel subsidy removal.

The NLC is still determined to hold its planned protest on Tuesday. This is a sign of the deep-seated frustrations of the Nigerian people with rising fuel costs and the government's handling of the economy.

The conflict highlights the complexity of the situation and the need for a resolution that takes into account the needs of all parties involved.

The president of the Trade Union Congress, Quadri Olaleye, said that the meeting between the government and the union ended without a resolution.

While the government has called for patience, the NLC remains committed to its plan for a nationwide protest on Tuesday.

The NLC has expressed frustration with the government's handling of the economy, including fuel price increases and naira devaluation.

Protesters have been seen with placards, calling for an end to these policies.
