The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Wednesday rejected the new increase in petrol pump price, saying it will further deepen poverty in the country.
“It will further deepen poverty as production capacities dip, more jobs lost with multidimensional negative effects, NLC President, Joe Ajaero, said in a statement.
“In light of this, we urge the government to immediately reverse this rate hike as previous increases did not produce any good result. People only got poorer.
“But more fundamentally, the government should be bold enough to tell Nigerians in advance the destination it wants to take the country.”
