We Will Take Strong Action If The Government Withdraws Fuel Subsidy —NLC
The National Union of Trade Unions has vowed to oppose the federal government over Bola Tinubu's decision to end oil subsidies. Tinubu is the next president.
The group stated that it will not support the decision since doing so would generate problems for the neighborhood.
Long lines for gasoline have begun in some areas of the nation since President Tinubu's pronouncement on the day he was sworn in.
The NLC's Secretary of Planning, Comrade Nasir Kabir, told reporters that the president rushed to announce the decision to end fuel subsidies without engaging relevant parties.
"Before you stop helping, you should install power, make sure that the roads are all prosperous, and keep the impoverished people away from the country's poverty. According to reports, the government is not involved in this situation, he continued.
The group asserted that within hours of the president's declaration, the country's citizens found themselves in a challenging scenario as a result of the country's lack of fuel in some areas and the rise in fuel prices in some gas stations. 300 percent more fuel was now being paid.
The government of this nation has frequently asserted that the oil subsidy should be eliminated because it only benefits a small number of people.
Comrade Nasir Kabir has disclosed that the NLC has disregarded this.
"All this chatter is fiction, I promise you; we're not happy with it, but the real question is: Why did the new government want to stop providing this support? "When they see that we are more trustworthy than they are, they will crumble," he said.
The union criticized President Tinubu's action and urged the government to drop the proposal right away.
The NLC further asserted that this action's effects would be harmful to public safety and welfare.
