The Nigeria Labour Congres (NLC) has declared a two-day warning strike, beginning from Tuesday, September 5, in protest against the Federal Government\u2019s failure to address the challenges caused by the removal of fuel subsidy.<\/p>\n

On August 2, organised labour protested the \u201canti-people\u201d policies of the President Bola Tinubu administration.<\/p>\n

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and their affiliate unions demonstrated in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and several states, including Lagos, Abia, Plateau, Kaduna, Kano, Rivers, Zamfara, Katsina, Cross River, Ebonyi, Enugu, Kwara, Ogun, Imo, Ondo, and Edo.<\/p>\n

The protest followed a seven-day ultimatum issued to the Federal Government demanding \u201cthe immediate reversal of all anti-poor policies of the federal government including the recent hike in PMS (Premium Motor Spirit) price, increase in public school fees, the release of the eight months withheld salary of university lecturers and workers\u201d.<\/p>\n

The union also demanded an upward review of the minimum wage from N30,000 to N200,000, saying that since the President\u2019s \u201csubsidy is gone\u201d inauguration speech of May 29, 2023, the peace of mind of Nigerians has gone.<\/p>\n

Several meetings between the Presidency and the unions on palliatives for Nigerians suffering hardship in the wake of the petrol subsidy removal have not yielded the desired result.<\/p>\n
