NLC Rejects New Fuel Price, Asks Federal Govt To Retrace Steps

The Nigeria Labour Congress has kicked against the increased pump price of petrol to N617, saying the development remains unaccepted by Nigerians.

Reacting to the development, the head of information and public affairs of the congress, Comrade Benson Upah told Our Correspondent that the increase poses a significant threat to the socio-economic well-being of the citizenry, their businesses, incomes, and livelihood.

The labor center told the federal government to retrace its steps from the journey of possibly driving fuel towards N1,000 per liter.

He said the Congress is yet to be convinced how development is helpful to the people or the economy or how it renews the hope of the people.
