NLC Threatens Nationwide Strike, Demands Reversal Of Petrol Price

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the President Bola Tinubu administration to reverse what it describes as anti-people policies including the hike in the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) known as petrol.

The NLC in a Communique at the end of its Central Working Committee (CWC) meeting held yesterday, threatened to embark on a total and indefinite strike from Wednesday, August 2, 2023 should the Federal Government fail to do the needful.

The Communique was co-signed by NLC President, Joe Ajaero; and the union’s General Secretary, Emmanuel Ugboaja.

The labour union said since the President’s subsidy is gone forever speech on inauguration day on May 29, 2023, “the peace of mind of Nigerians has gone; decent living gone, increasing despair of unimaginable dimensions”.
