See How NLC Accuses President Tinubu of Betrayal Over Fuel Price Hike

NLC and TUC

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has accused President Bola Tinubu of betraying both the Nigerian people and the labor movement by increasing the price of petrol. The NLC’s criticism follows the recent decision to raise fuel prices, which they argue has negatively impacted the cost of living and further strained the economic situation for many Nigerians.

In a statement, the NLC condemned the price hike as a significant setback for workers and citizens alike, emphasizing that it undermines the government’s previous commitments to addressing economic challenges and supporting the workforce. The increase in fuel prices, according to the NLC, exacerbates the financial difficulties faced by ordinary Nigerians and contradicts promises made by the administration.

The labor movement has called for a reversal of the decision and urged the government to consider the economic pressures on the populace before implementing such measures. The NLC’s stance highlights ongoing tensions between the labor sector and the government regarding economic policies and their impact on the general public.
