The Nigeria Labour Congress has kicked against the expanded siphon cost of petrol to N617, saying the advancement stays unaccepted to Nigerians.
The labour centre advised the federal government to backtrack its means from the excursion of potentially driving fuel towards N1,000 per liter.
He said the congress is yet to be persuaded the way that improvement is useful to the people or the economy or how it restores the expectation of the people.
He said below:
“This increment is unacceptable to us at the Congress because it poses a significant threat to the socio-economic well-being of the citizenry, their businesses, incomes, livelihood, everything!”We had said earlier that no reasonable government acting reasonably, leaves its national currency entirely to the storms of the Market as this could lead to unintended consequences”.“The new pump price is suggestive of the fact that the pump price could rise to N1000 or more per a litre any time soon. It makes planning difficult and life uncertain.We advise the government to retrace its steps from this journey. The people are not happy. Their calmness should not be taken for granted”.
