The leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress has in the last few minutes risen from its meeting in Abuja and has given the Federal Government an ultimatum of Monday, 9 January to either reverse the removal of subsidies on premium motor spirit (petrol) or face a general strike.
A communique signed by the National President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Mr. Abdulwaheed Omar, and President-General of the Trade Union Congress, Mr. Peter Esele, said the strike would not be called off until the reversal of the pump price of petrol from N141 to N65.
The labour leaders advised Nigerians to buy food and other necessities in preparation for the strike.
He also called on Nigerians to organise mass rallies, street protests and participate in the indefinite strike.
Similarly, the Trade Union Congress has risen from its meeting in Lagos with the same ultimatum to the Federal Government. The TUC said that all Nigerians should stay at home from Monday unless they intend to participate in the protests.
It is time to stop complaining& start acting.
