Labour vows to protest the non-implementation of fuel subsidy report

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has vowed to mobilise Nigerians on another round of street protest if the Federal Government fails to implement the report of the Farouk Lawan-led committee on the probe of the fuel subsidy.

The President of the NLC, Comrade Abdulwaheed Omar, stated this while speaking at a pubic function in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital.








The labour leader, who was represented  by the state leader, Comrade Bashiru Olanrewaju, called on all Nigerians to support the labour group in the planned confrontation with the government.

Meanwhile, the national labour leader also declared that another nationwide strike is inevitable due to the alleged poor implementation of the N18,000 minimum wage, as Comrade Omar accused some state governments of failing to implement the minimum wage.

The labour groups  accused some governors of exploring the constitutional amendment route to negate the implementation of the Wage Act.

Comrade Omar stated that the state governments are acting under the guise of federalism to replace industrial relations, minimum wage, labour in the concurrent list instead of the exclusive list.
