The Anambra state chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress and civil society of Nigeria have condemned in strong term the removal of subsidy on the premium Motor Spirit (PMS) by the federal government and described it as described it as insensitive o the plight of common man.
Addressing journalists at the end of their meeting in Awka, the state chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Comrade Jerry Nnubia lamented that the APC led administration has disappointed Nigerians with their programme of governance, he called on workers, non civil service work force to join them in the struggle to liberate Nigerians from the stronghold of the present administration.
He maintained that the strike action, which will commence tomorrow (Today) will be indefinite in line with the national body of the NLC request, in making sure that government is forced to revert the pump price of petroleum from the present price of 145 naira to its previous price of 86 naira respectively.
Speaking on the court injunction, secured from an industrial
court, barring labour to embark of its proposed strike action, comrade Nnubia
described the court order as laughable, alleged that the APC led administration
had on many occasion failed to obey court orders, noting that the order was
gotten without involving labour being the principal player in the proposed
strike action as a party to the suite.
They however noted with equivocation that Nigerians would
not settle for anything less than total reversal to the initial pump price of
the premium motor spirit (PMS) of 86 per
liter.
