Nationwide Strike: Stock Your Home With Food– Edo NLC Issues Notice

Before the nationwide strike on Wednesday, June 7, the Edo State Chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) advised both private and governmental workers in the state to fill their houses with as much foodstuffs and commodities as they could afford.

The purpose of the press release is to inform workers in the state of the union’s determination to join its national body during the anticipated nationwide strike in opposition to the most recent hardships experienced by Nigerians as a result of the federal government’s elimination of the fuel subsidy.

Remember when President Bola Tinubu declared the end of fuel subsidies at his inauguration? According to news sources, the development has since resulted in an increase in the cost of gasoline and other goods in the nation.
