THE NIGERIA LABOUR CONGRESS (NLC) HAS REJECTED THE CURRENT INCREASE IN THE PRICES OF FUEL ON MONDAY EVENING, DEMANDING ITS REVERSAL WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT.
THE CONGRESS CONDEMNED THE INCREASE, SAYING THE PRICE INCREASE WILL DEFINITELY INCREASE THE CURRENT LEVEL OF PAIN AND ANGUISH IN THE COUNTRY.
IN A STATEMENT SIGNED BY THE NLC PRESIDENT, COMRADE AYUBA WABBA, THE CONGRESS HINTED THAT IT WOULD RECEIVE AN UPDATE FROM ITS AFFILIATES WHO WERE MEMBERS OF VARIOUS COMMITTEES SET UP AFTER THE LAST ROUND OF NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
WABBA SAID THE OUTCOME OF ITS ENGAGEMENT WITH THE UNIONS WILL DETERMINE THE NEXT LINE OF ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY LABOUR.
