The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has expressed concern over what it described as the perennial increases in fuel prices by successive administrations in the West African country.

绿帽献妻 reports Comrade Ayuba Wabba, President of NLC, in his New Year message Saturday, January 1, 2022, said that the Labour movement was concerned about 鈥渢he deceit and duplicity associated with the politics of petrol price increase鈥� by successive Nigerian governments.

The Labour, union while warning the Federal Government, stated that there is is a limit to how much more sufferings Nigerian consumers can endure in the economy.

The NLC urged government to stop all the union has called authorities鈥� anti-people policies.

The perennial increases in the price of petrol amount to the government鈥檚 transferring its incompetence to the Nigerian people, noted NLC.

The Nigeria Labour Congress also warned some state governors against starving pensioners and workers of their entitlements and the New Minimum Wage.

Comrade Wabba said: 鈥淥ur argument has been that there is a limit to the imposition of hardship and suffering on the fragile shoulders of the Nigerian people.”

The NLC President also stated: 鈥淚t is gratifying that amidst the deteriorating conditions of living, Organised Labour was able to rise up to ensure that the masses of our people were not completely run over by market forces enabled by the anti-people policies of the government and at the whims of shylock capitalists.”
