ABUJA – IN a bid to ensure proper articulation of government’s policy direction on the implementation of the removal of fuel subsidy Goodluck Jonathan has called for an emergency Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting, scheduled for tomorrow.

The Federal Government had at the last session in December, fixed the 2012 inaugural FEC meeting for January 11, 2012, but had to bring forward the first session to January 4, due to pressing issues.

Vanguard gathered that President Jonathan summoned the meeting which is expected to begin by noon, to lay bare government’s strategies for managing the looming government-labour face off over the subsidy removal.

It could not however be confirmed as at press time if the Dr Christopher Kolade subsidy reinvestment board and the Alfa Belgore labour negotiation committee will be inaugurated at the meeting.
