The Nigeria Labour Congress has threatened to resume another round of indefinite nationwide protest should there be any increase in the current N617 pump price of petroleum products in the country.
NLC President, Joe Ajaero, gave the warning while addressing the Africa Regional Convention of Trade Union Alliance, held Monday in Abuja, and termed such increment as illegal. He also warned the Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration to desist from disparaging the union on their demands.
It was reported on Sunday that some oil marketers told the publication that the price of fuel would rise to N680-N720 per liter in weeks if the dollar continued to sell at between N910 and N950 on the parallel market.
The oil marketers are also said to be planning to suspend the importation of PMS over an inability to access foreign cash needed to do so.
Recall, All Legit News had reported that leaders of NLC and TUC called off their planned indefinite strike on Thursday, August 4, 2023, after they met with President Tinubu at the Presidential Villa.
After the meeting, leaders of the Congress told supporters that the President has promised them that the Port Harcourt refinery will commence operation in December this year.
