Nigeria Labour Congress NLC) has announced its plan to commence strike action/protest from Wednesday next week over the scarcity and hike in the price of fuel across the country.

This announcement was pronounced by the NLC President, Joe Ajaero after an emergency meeting of the union’s National Executive Council (NEC) in Abuja.

In his words, Ajaero said the government, particularly the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited had up until Wednesday next week to revert to the old price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) otherwise referred to as petrol.

The NLC president also added that the failure of the Federal Government to meet the ultimatum would attract an indefinite protest across the country.

According to reports channelslstv, the Nationwide strike declaration by the NLC will take full effect next Wednesday if NNPC refuses to revert to the old price to allow negotiation with the government before any other action.
