NLC RULES OUT STRIKE ACTION ON FRIDAY

The Nigeria Labour Congress(NLC) has said it has no plans to commence industrial action on Friday to protest the increase in prices of premium motor spirit otherwise known as petrol.

The Congress however said it would hold meetings tomorrow to deliberate on the price increase.

It promised to keep Nigerians informed on its next line of action after the meetings.

Head of Information and Public Affairs, NLC, Benson Upah said this in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), on Wednesday jerked up the pump prices of premium motor spirit otherwise known as petrol (PMS) by over 200 per cent bringing the price of fuel to between N488 and N557 per litre.

The Congress rejected the new pump prices announced by the NNPCL, saying it was against the interest of deregulation.

The meeting between the delegation of the Federal Government on Wednesday and organised labour ended in a deadlock
