NLC Demands Petrol Price Cuts and Wage Talks in 2 Weeks
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), led by President Joe Ajaero, has given the federal government a two-week ultimatum to address two critical issues: the rising price of petrol and the need to renegotiate the national minimum wage. This ultimatum was formalized in a communiqué following a joint session of the NLC's National Executive Council (NEC) and Central Working Committee (CWC) held in Abuja.
The NLC is pressing for a reduction in petrol prices, which have surged since the removal of the fuel subsidy in 2023, significantly impacting household incomes across Nigeria. Additionally, the NLC is advocating for a review of the national minimum wage, arguing that current pay levels do not align with the realities of inflation and the increasing cost of living.
The ultimatum indicates that the NLC expects tangible actions from the government within the specified timeframe. The meeting represents a notable escalation in the NLC's efforts to address these pressing economic concerns.
