A statement issued by NLC Head of Information and Public Affairs, Benson Upah, indicates that even as the organized labour is outraged by the increase in price of petrol that would bring untold hardship to ordinary Nigerians, the union has no plan to embark on any industrial action.
The statement noted that the congress is only meeting today to look into the issue and decide on the next line of action, promising to keep Nigerians updated on the outcome.
The new pump price of petrol as approved by the federal government has continued to generate criticisms with many viewing the move as anti-masses.
However, the federal government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has insisted that the total removal of petrol subsidy is for the good of the nation.
