NLC Orders Nigeria Workers to Embark on Nation-wide Strike over Hike in Fuel Pump Price

Following the adjustment of fuel pump price from N195 to N550, the President of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Joe Ajaero has ordered Nigerian workers to embark on a nationwide industrial action in protest.

The decision of NLC as gathered was as a result of the deadlocked meeting between the body and the federal government negotiating team on Wednesday.

It would be recalled that Recall that the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) had on Tuesday adjusted fuel pump prices across the country from N195 to N550 with various states having different templates following the comment by President Bola Tinubu during his inauguration speech that “fuel subsidy is gone.”

Consequently, the NLC president Joe Ajaero made it clear that since the negotiation failed, Nigerian workers should embark on a nationwide industrial action.
