TUC Gives FG Ultimatum to Revoke Fuel Tax Proposal
The Federal Government is facing a 14-day ultimatum from the Trade Union Congress (TUC) to withdraw the proposed 5% fuel tax aimed at funding road projects. The TUC argues that Nigerians are already burdened with various taxes and cannot bear additional levies, especially amidst economic challenges like subsidy removal and inflation.
The TUC warned of sector shutdowns if the government fails to retract the tax, labeling it as economic cruelty towards citizens. The TUC emphasized the need to protect workers and citizens from further financial strain, urging the government to reconsider the tax proposal.
