The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) denies reports to the contrary that it intends to go on strike on Friday to protest FG’s removal of all forms of fuel subsidy.
In his inaugural address on Monday, President Bola Tinubu said that the era of fuel subsidies was ended.
However, there were reports that the NLC had fixed Friday to commence a strike in protest against the subsidy removal.
Reacting to the development, Benson Upah, NLC’s head of information and public affairs, asked Nigerians to disregard the claim.
“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,” NAN quoted him as saying.
“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.”
