The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has demanded an “immediate reversal” of the pump price of petrol across the country.
The NNPCL on Tuesday adjusted the pump price of petrol from ₦568 to ₦855, ₦897 (depending on the location per litre).
However, the labour union on its X page on Tuesday night demanded a reversal..
The post reads: “We demand the immediate reversal of the latest increase in the pump of PMS across the country.”
Earlier on Tuesday, the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, in a statement, accused the Federal Government of betraying the labour movement.
Ajaero said, “We demand the immediate reversal of the latest increase in the pump of PMS across the country, release of all those incarcerated or being prosecuted on the assumption of having participated in the recent protests.
Halt the indiscriminate arrest and detention of citizens on trumped up charges, reversal of the 250% tariff hike in electricity, stop to the hijack of the duties of the Ministry of Labour and Employment.
“End to policies that engender hunger and insecurity, Halt to government’s culture of terror, fear and lying. We are guided by our belief in our country and the need to secure and sustain its sovereignty, integrity and welfare of the people.”
