NLC Rejects Proposed N5,000 Bait by Government to Replace Patrol Subsidy

In a similar development, the Nigeria Labor Congress, NLC has rejected the proposed N5,000 for 40 million poor Nigerians when the subsidy on Petroleum Motor Spirit, PMS is removed.

NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, who made this known in Abuja, warned that the bait by government to pay 40 million Nigerians N5,000 as palliative to cushion the effect of the increase in the price of petrol is comical.

Wabba accused the government of adopting monologue in arriving at its conclusion on subsidy removal, stressing that it will continually reject a deregulation that is anchored on importation of petroleum products.
