The Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political
Thoughts, Sam Amadi has advised the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, to demand
that the budget for the National Assembly and the Presidency should be slashed.
In a post via his Twitter handle on Wednesday, Amadi also
asked the nation’s labour union to look beyond fuel subsidy and focus on
accountability and equality.
His statement is coming on the heels of negotiations between
the federal government and the NLC over the fuel subsidy removal.
Recall that the new price adjustment of petroleum products
currently generating controversies has stimulated the hoarding of fuel by
marketers, causing queues in stations.
The development followed the announcement by President Bola
Tinubu, Monday, on removal of fuel subsidy.
Meanwhile, Amadi has made a list of items, which he
described as negotiating advisory to the NLC.
He wrote, “Negotiating advisory to NLC
1. Look beyond fuel subsidy, look at accountability and
equality
2. Ask for 2/3 slashing of @nassnigeria and @NGRPresident
budget
3. Ask for immediate probe @nnpclimited accounts and
