The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has reacted to the recent increase in the pump price of petrol in the country.
President of the NLC president, Ayuba Wabba, rejected the increment in a statement yesterday, stating that it is against the agreement reached with the Federal Government.
“There is no doubt that there is great disquiet in the land over the extraordinary level of inflation in the country. The recent increase in the pump price of the Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) has only exacerbated the current level of pain and anguish in the country. The recent increase in the pump price of PMS is clearly against the spirit and content of what organised labour agreed with government at the last negotiations over the last fuel price increase.
He also said that the union would meet with the various committees involved in the negotiations to determine the next line of action.
