Following the subsidy removal by the Federal Government, the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, has today declared a nationwide strike commencing from Wednesday next week. The union made this known during its National Executive Council, NEC meeting held in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, FCT today. The NLC NEC meeting is a fallout of the subsidy removal by the new administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinibu and was followed by a price hike by petroleum marketers that resulted in up to a 200% increase in the pump price across the country.
The development has thrown many into groaning over price hikes in most of the prices of commodities across markets nationwide.
During the meeting, NLC members that were present include; all Presidents, General Secretaries, Treasurers of all NLC’s affiliate unions; State Chairpersons and Secretaries of the NLC State Councils, Chairperson of the NLC Youth Committee, and members of the National Administrative Council (NAC).
