The Nigeria Labour Congress(NLC) has said it has no plans to commence industrial action on Friday to protest increase in the prices of premium motor spirit otherwise known as petrol.
The Congress however said it would hold organ meetings slated for tomorrow, Friday, June 2nd, 2023 to deliberate on the price issue.
It promise to keep Nigerians informed on our next line of action after our meetings.
The Statement released by the Congress Head of Information and Public Affairs, Benson Upah reads: “Our attention has been drawn to stories circulating in the social media space claiming that the Nigeria Labour Congress would commence protest action tomorrow (Friday, June 2nd) against the increase in the pump price of pms.
In as much as we are outraged by this mindless price increase which is intended to bring untold hardship to ordinary Nigerians, we have no plan to start any action tomorrow.
What we do have for now are organ meetings slated for tomorrow, Friday, June 2nd, 2023 to deliberate on the price issue.
We promise to keep Nigerians informed on our next line of action after our meetings.
In light of this, we advise the public to disregard these stories.”
