THE Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has accused fuel marketers of inflating petrol prices, claiming the pump price is significantly higher than the actual market value.
The NLC contends that Nigerians were being exploited, with citizens enduring heightened suffering and hunger due to government policies that are pushing many into destitutions.
In a communique released following its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, signed by NLC President, Joe Ajaero and other labour leaders, NLC highlighted the severe economic hardship across the country and called for an urgent review of policies it described as “anti-people.”
The NLC further directed state councils, where the new minimum wage is not yet implemented, to commence an indefinite strike, in protest against the unaddressed labour issues.
The organization’s call underscores its growing concerns over the economic strain on Nigerians and its commitment to holding both fuel marketers and the government accountable for citizens’ welfare.
