Musiliu Akinsanya, alias MC Oluomo, the Chairman of Lagos State Parks and Garages, has stated that transport operators will not participate in the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, protest.
MC Oluomo stated that transport companies would not participate in the protest since the Lagos State administration has created a favorable atmosphere for them to operate.
He mentioned that the state government has provided some assistance to commercial transportation firms.
A statement by MC Oluomo reads partly: “After much deliberations and review, we discussed the high cost of food, transport fares and other areas of public interest, in particular, the plan by the organised Labour union i.e. the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) to call workers out on a strike action.
Nationwide Protest: Tinubu’s Govt Tackles Falana For Backing NLC
“After a careful discussion, we concluded that we will not be part of any strike or protest rally being planned to draw the Federal Government’s attention to the issue being debated in the country.
“Lagos State Government has provided a conducive atmosphere for our operations. There is, therefore, no reason for us to join any strike that may threaten the peace of the State.
“We at Lagos State Parks and Garages, therefore, equivocally say no to any form of strike and protest by any group or organized labour.”
Today, Wednesday, the NLC announced a nationwide demonstration over the increase in fuel prices at the pump.
The increase in fuel prices followed President Bola Tinubu’s elimination of subsidies.
