Fuel Price Hike: NLC Declares August 2 Nationwide Strike

NEWSDAILYNIGERIA: The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has declared its intention to embark on a nationwide strike on August 2.

NLC by this declaration has given the Federal Government a seven-day ultimatum to reverse all perceived anti-poor policies or face an indefinite nationwide strike from August 2.

These policies include the recent hike in the pump price of petrol.

This is as NLC directed all its affiliates and state councils to immediately begin mobilisation of workers and other Nigerians, including civil society allies, for a long-lasting strike and mass protests should the government fail to meet its demands.
