The Organised Labour has vowed to proceed with a total,
comprehensive and indefinite nationwide shutdown of the country, should there
be another increase in Petrol Pump price from the existing 617 naira, which it
describes as “illegal”.
NLC President, Joe Ajaero, gave the notification on Monday,
at the African Trade Union alliance meeting in Abuja, where organised labour
also warned against undermining the demands of the union.
The PUNCH had earlier reported that oil marketers on Sunday
indicated that the cost of Premium Motor Spirit, popularly called petrol, would
rise to between N680/lite and N720/litre in the coming weeks should the dollar
continue to trade from N910 to N950 at the parallel market.
They also hinted that dealers seeking to import PMS were being forced to put the plans on hold due to the scarcity of foreign exchange to import the commodity.
The organised labour had early suspended a proposed
indefinite strike on Thursday, August 4, 2023, following a meeting with the
President, Bola Tinubu.

TUC AND NLC are jokes, life started getting harder for Nigerians on 29/5/23 when the new govt take over. Is barely few days to 3 months now. They are here still making plans for strike.
ReplyDeleteLong ago people are not taking them serious. Besides how many Nigerians are govt workers. What about the gullible poor Nigerians that are working with state and LG and those that are not working at all. We don't like salary increase because it will only help in jeering the prices of commodities. Reduce the petrol price to stop the catastrophe of Nigerians dying daily. Many govs are not sympathetic with poor Nigerians. So long as thier family have access to public funds.
