Fuel hike: NLC threatens fresh strike

Fuel hike: NLC threatens fresh strike

 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.
