The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has firmly stated that it has no intentions to initiate a strike action on Friday regarding the withdrawal of fuel subsidy.
This was disclosed in a statement by the head of information and public affairs at the NLC,Benson Upah, on Friday, June 1, 2023.
“Our attention has been drawn to stories circulating in the social media claiming that the NLC would begin protest action on June 2 against the increase in the pump price of petrol.
“In as much as we are outraged by this mindless price increase which is intended to bring untold hardship to Nigerians, we have no plan to start any action on June 2.
“What we do have for now are organ meetings slated for June 2 to deliberate on the price issue,’’ he stated.
Upah assured that the NLC would keep Nigerians informed on its next line of action after its meetings. (NAN).
