…Claims Nigerians Are Being Exploited by Marketers

…Decries Policies Forcing Citizens into Hardship

…Calls for Urgent Review of Anti-People Policies

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 are being exploited, with citizens enduring heightened suffering and hunger due to government policies that are pushing many into destitution.

In a communique released following its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, the 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 starting December 1, 2024, in protest against the unaddressed labor 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. vanguard
