Labour gives FG conditions for removal of Fuel Subsidy

The Trade Union Congress has given conditions for the removal of fuel subsidies.

At the end of its National Executive Council, the TUC in a communique said the government must ensure that local refineries are operational before such a move is implemented.

It directed its state councils and affiliates to prepare for industrial actions if the government goes ahead with its removal plans without meeting the conditions.

The Federal Government has hinted that it may end the subsidy programme in June but the move has been opposed in several quarters.
