A nationwide strike has been called to begin on next Wednesday by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).
Due to President Bola Tinubu’s declaration that “fuel subsidy is gone” in his inaugural speech, there are currently fuel shortages around the nation.
Following a meeting of its National Executive Council (NEC) in Abuja on the loss of fuel subsidies and ensuing increase in the price of gasoline at the pump, the union announced the industrial action on Friday.
The NEC comprises all Presidents, General Secretaries, Treasurers of all NLC’s affiliate unions; State Chairpersons and Secretaries of the NLC State Councils, Chairperson of the NLC Youth Committee and members of the National Administrative Council (NAC).
