The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has issued a strong warning to the Federal Government in response to the recent hike in the pump price of petrol to N617.

In a statement released by NLC President Joe Ajaero, the organization vehemently rejected the new pump price, deeming it provocative.

Ajaero criticized the fuel price increase, stating that it was intended to exacerbate poverty levels and intensify the hardships already faced by Nigerians.

The NLC expressed deep concern over the 18% surge in fuel prices, particularly during a period of significant difficulties for the Nigerian people.

Describing the hike as “sadistic and unacceptable,” Ajaero emphasized that it displayed insensitivity and a sense of triumphalism by the government against the suffering masses.

The NLC warned that such actions could push Nigerians to the brink and potentially override any mechanisms the government claims to have put in place as safeguards.

Bensoah, the NLC’s head of information and public affairs, further stressed that the adjustment in fuel prices was unacceptable to Nigerians. He emphasized that the increase jeopardizes socio-economic security, businesses, earnings, and overall quality of life for the populace.

Furthermore, the labor movement alleged that the Federal Government is contemplating raising fuel prices as high as N1,000 per litre.

The union questioned the benefits of such projected price hikes for both the people and the economy, particularly considering the ongoing discussions surrounding economic recovery.

NLC Warns Federal Government Against Provocative Fuel Price HikeThe NLC’s strong stance against the fuel price increase highlights growing concerns and frustrations within the Nigerian populace.

As Nigerians grapple with the persistent challenges of rising fuel costs and economic hardships, the NLC’s resistance serves as a call for the government to address the pressing issues and prioritize the well-being of its citizens
