Following the announcement of increases to fuel prices and the elimination of fuel subsidies, representatives of organized labor are currently in discussions with federal government officials at the State House in Abuja.
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, and his Trade Union Congress (TUC) counterpart, Comrade Festus Osifo, are in charge of the delegation representing organized labor.
The discussion is taking place in the president’s chief of staff’s conference room.
Peter Obi, The Labour Party Has Never Opposed The Elimination Of Subsidies
Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, a former governor of Edo State and former president of the NLC, Tijjani Umar, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, the head of the federation’s service, and Mele Kyari, the group chief executive officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), are among the notable attendees.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s announcement that fuel subsidies have been eliminated and the NNPC’s implementation of new rates for Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), generally known as gasoline, precede this key discussion.
The increase in petrol prices by the NNPC, which sparked outrage across the nation, was rejected by the labor union, according to news reports from earlier in the day.
