Wabba while speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Monday,noted the following points;
- the tradition of the NLC is to continue to dialogue on issues that it is passionate about, especially the increase in electricity tariff and pump price of petrol.
- Wabba reiterated that the strike was suspended due to the intervention of well-meaning Nigerians including the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu and the National Assembly.
- He did not give an assurance that all matters would be resolved, but promised that the union would indeed resume negotiations with the government
- He said: “Our standpoint is clear and unambiguous, we believe that it is not sustainable and it will be at a very high cost to continue to over-rely on importation of this product that God has blessed Nigeria with”.
- NLC had a documented written agreement with government where they requested for a full-year monitoring period within which to ensure that the issue of importing products will be addressed, but here we are, many years down the line we are still at the same point.
The labour union, had on Sunday evening suspended an industrial action it called on Wednesday, May 18 to resist the new price of petrol. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by none sense mumu
DeleteSectionist bigot of a labour leader. Timid and naive.
ReplyDeleteAll through the years PDP was paying Wabba, he didn't call for a strike to protest the non-performance of the one year monitoring programme, in order to safeguard the interest of the masses. Now that another government has taken over, increased the price and has no interest in pushing "ghana-must-go" his way, he calls everyone to go on strike. Well! This is politricks.
ReplyDeleteHas the world or Nigeria atmosphere turn upside down? Where is this barbaric activities coming from? Most we be swimming in the ocean with a lump of soap in our eyes?. It's imperative we return to the drawing board with all hands on the desk.
