Just in: NLC takes stand on fuel subsidy removal
The fuel subsidy removal policy announced by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has potentially triggered yet another crisis, as the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) leadership has now announced that it will investigate payments for imported fuel made during the former President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
This was disclosed by NLC president, Joe Ajaero, after an emergency National Executive Council (NEC), meeting held in Abuja on Friday.
He said, “We are going to probe subsidy payments in the last eight years, at least that under the immediate past administration of Muhammadu Buhari because nobody seems to be looking in that direction.”
Expressing deep concern, Ajaero highlighted that numerous state governors were still failing to comply with the N30,000 minimum wage, while the government appeared to be oblivious to the fact that more than half of Nigeria’s population was grappling with multidimensional poverty.
