NLC Says Nigerians Lost ‘peace of Mind’ Since President Tinubu’s Inauguration Day

The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC says Nigerians lost their peace of mind following the “Subsidy is gone” comment made by President Bola Tinubu during his May 29, 2023, inaugural speech.

The labour congress in a statement jointly signed by the national president, Joe Ajaero and Secretary-General, Emmanuel Ugboaja, in Abuja, faulted the Tinubu administration over what they called “unfriendly” policies while adding that the administration had continued to treat Nigerians as slaves.

The NLC, however, noted that it would mobilise a nationwide strike on August 2,2023 should the government fail to meet all its demands including the immediate reversal of all “anti-poor policies such as the hike in price of Premium Motor Spirit; increase in public schools’ fees; increase in Value Added Tax among others”
