The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, on Friday announced a plan to embark on a nationwide strike starting from next Wednesday, June 7, 2023.
NLC took the decision during an emergency National Executive Council meeting on Friday to deliberate on the recent increment in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit also known as petrol.
The meeting which commenced a few minutes past 12 pm was attended by executive members of the affiliate unions of the congress.
The trade union group had kicked against the removal of the fuel subsidy announced by President Bola Tinubu on Monday, May 29, while delivering his inaugural speech.
Credible News reports that the price adjustment by the NNPC came 48 hours after the announcement as petrol sold for N537 per litre in Abuja, N488 per litre in Lagos and N511 at Port Harcourt.
