Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has demanded an immediate reversal of pump price of petrol across the country.
Gatekeepers News reports that NNPCL had on Tuesday increased pump price of petrol from ₦568 to ₦855, ₦897 (per liter depending on location).
The labour union subsequently expressed its disapproval of the new prices and demanded a reversal through a post on its official X account on Tuesday.
The post goes, “We demand the immediate reversal of the latest increase in the pump of PMS across the country.”
The union also demanded the release of all those incarcerated or being prosecuted on assumption of having participated in the recent nationwide protests of#EndBadGovernance.
Ajaero continued, “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.”
