Nigerians Will Not Tolerate N170 Per Fuel Litre – NLC

The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC has come out to say that there is a limit to what Nigerians can tolerate in the country.

NLC revealed this recently after the recent hike in the pump price of fuel to N170 per litre.

According to the congress, the financiers of political parties need to be probed more often because they are behind a lot of the current woes in the petroleum sector.

He added that Nigerians would not be experiencing its current issues if the government had been alive to its responsibilities.

His words, “Nigerians cannot be made to bleed endlessly for the failures of successive government to properly manage our refineries, ensure value for money for the numerous Turn Around Maintenance (TAM), which were poorly and barely executed.”

“The truth is that we would not have been in this precarious situation if the government had been alive to its responsibilities.

“The question in the minds of many Nigerians is if the government is willing to go headlong against major financiers of the major political parties known to the public as the architects of the current national woe.

“Organised Labour will not accept a fait accompli of the monopoly of Nigeria’s downstream petroleum sector or the emergence of a cartel of oligarchs whose end game is mass pauperisation.”
