There was no end in sight to the ongoing general strike in the country over the removal of fuel subsidy on Thursday night as the meeting between the Federal Government and organised Labour at the Presidential Villa, Abuja ended in a stalemate.

The government's side was led by President Goodluck Jonathan while the presidents of the Nigerian Labour Congress, Mr. Abdulwaheed Omar, and Trade Congress, Mr. Peter Esele, led a 17-man delegation from organised Labour and civil society to the meeting.

Omar told journalists after the meeting

agreement was reached at the meeting.
He also said another discussion had been scheduled for Saturday.

The meeting began at 5pm at the
Presidential Villa and Labour demanded that government must revert from N141 to N65.
