Fuel Price Hike: NLC Demands Immediate Reversal
The Nigeria Labour Congress faulted the recent increase in fuel pump price by NNPC from 617naira per liter to 897naira per liter, demanding immediate reversal.
This was made public in a post on the official X page of NLC on Tuesday night.
The post reads: “We demand the immediate reversal of the latest increase in the pump of PMS across the country.”
Earlier in the day, the union claimed they felt betrayed by President Bola Tinubu, after the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, increased the official price of fuel from N617 to N897 per litre.
NLC president, Joe Ajaero, claimed that why they accepted the N70,000 minimum wage was an understanding that there would be no further increase in the price of fuel.
Ajaero threatened that in the coming days, the appropriate organs of Congress will be meeting to make appropriate decisions which will be made public
