    Labour accuses fuel marketers of exploitation amid soaring prices

    The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has sounded the alarm on fuel marketers taking advantage of Nigerians, selling petrol at prices higher than its actual market value.

    This accusation comes as the country grapples with widespread suffering and hunger, exacerbated by government policies that are pushing citizens into destitution.

    The NLC’s concerns echo its previous warnings about the devastating impact of fuel price increases on the nation. In September 2023, the labour union declared an indefinite strike starting October 3 to pressure the federal government to address the excruciating suffering and hardship across the country, triggered by the removal of fuel subsidy.

    In its latest communique, issued after the National Executive Council meeting, the NLC directed state councils where the new minimum wage is not being implemented to begin an indefinite strike from December 1, 2024. This move aims to compel the government to take concrete actions to alleviate the plight of workers and Nigerians.
    The labour union’s stance is backed by its previous demands for incremental salary hikes to cushion the hardship faced by workers. The NLC has emphasized the need for proactive measures to address the cost-of-living crisis, which has seen food prices skyrocket and Nigerians struggling to make ends meet.
