The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) held a meeting in the State House with the Federal Government (FG) and failed to reach an agreement on fuel subsidy last night. According to You Decide (BEN TV – Sky Channel 184), the FG gave the industrial unions two options that did not favour the masses. FG was not willing to revert to N65 per litre from N141 per litre unless fuel subsidy is later removed in March or April at the costs of N120 per litre in March or N141 per litre in April 2012.
Unconditionally, the unions want fuel price to be N65 per litre and have decided to continue the strike action tomorrow. The unions gave the masses adequate time to rest and restock their kitchens with food during the weekend. The NLC and TUC strike against 116% increase on fuel price started on 9 January 2012. A luta Continua!
It’s N65 per litre or nothing — Civil groups
Strike continues Monday
