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 NLC in a statement by Benson Upah, its Head of Information and Public Affairs said it was reacting to reports circulating in the social media space claiming that the Congress would commence protest action today against the increase in the pump price of pms.
He clarified that in as much as the Congress is outraged by this mindless price increase which is intended to bring untold hardship to ordinary Nigerians, it has no plan to start any action today.
He said, “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.
