Nigeria Labour Congess (NLC) has declared a nationwide strike from next Wednesday.,June 7.
NLC announced the industrial action on Friday, at the end of its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Abuja over the fuel subsidy removal and subsequent hike in the pump price of petrol.The NEC comprises all Presidents, General Secretaries, Treasurers of all NLC’s affiliate unions; State Chairpersons and Secretaries of the NLC State Councils, Chairperson of the NLC Youth Committee and members of the National Administrative Council (NAC).
This came amid the fuel scarcity across the country which came as a result of President Tinubu’s inaugural speech in which he declared that “fuel subsidy is gone”.The meeting between the organised Labour and the government ended in stalemate and the product sells for over N500 per litre an over 200 hundred percent increment from the former price of N198 per litre.
