Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Speaks On Fuel Price Increase

Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, speaks on fuel price increase
The NLC says President Bola Tinubu The NLC says Mr Tinubu gave it two options during negotiations for the minimum wage.
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has said it feels betrayed by the federal government following Tuesday’s increase in the pump price of petrol at NNPC Ltd’s fuel stations.
The NLC, in a statement by its president, Joe Ajaero, said, “One of the reasons for accepting N70,000 as national minimum wage was the understanding that the pump price of pms would not be increased even as we knew that N70,000 was not sufficient.”
PREMIUM TIMES reported that NNPC’s petrol stations across Nigeria increased their pump price of petrol from about N600 to about N897.
No official reason for the increase has been given, but the state-owned oil firm recently lamented that it could no longer sustain the petrol price.
NNPC Ltd. is currently the sole importer of petrol into Nigeria and spends billions of naira monthly to subsidise the product.
In his statement, Mr Ajaero said President Bola Tinubu, during negotiations for the minimum wage, had given the NLC two options: “either N250,000 as minimum wage (subject to the rise of pump price between N1,500 and N2,000) and N70,000 (at old pms rate).”
President Tinubu
He said the NLC chose the latter option only for it to be confronted by Tuesday’s increase in petrol price.
“Here we are, barely one month later, with the government yet to commence payment of the new minimum wage, confronted by a reality we cannot explain,” Mr Ajaero added, describing the situation as both “traumatic and nightmarish.”
The NLC president further criticised the government’s approach to resolving the fuel subsidy issue, arguing that the labour movement had foreseen the challenges but was dismissed by officials who accused them of lacking an understanding of basic economics.
He also linked the fuel price increase to what he described as a pattern of betrayal by the government, citing similar unfulfilled promises regarding electricity tariff hikes.
Mr Ajaero condemned the government’s broader economic policies, which he said had led to widespread hardship and triggered protests such as the End-Hunger/End Bad Governance demonstrations.

He accused the government of responding to dissent with repression, including arrests and charges of treason against protestors.
“The clandestine increase in the pump price of petrol is the first among equally sinister policies the government has up its sleeve,” he warned, vowing that the NLC would not be intimidated.
The NLC demanded the immediate reversal of the fuel price increase, the release of all those arrested during recent protests, and called on government to put a halt to the indiscriminate detention of citizens.
The NLC also demanded an end to policies that engender hunger and insecurity, electricity tariff hikes, and an end to what it described as the government’s “culture of terror, fear, and lying.”

34 people killed by Boko Haram buried in Yobe
The Yobe government donates N30 million to the families of the slain persons in Mafa.
The Yobe State Government has announced that a total of 34 people were killed in Sunday’s Boko Haram attack in Mafa, Tarmuwa Local Government Area.
The 34 victims were buried on Tuesday in Babangida, the headquarters of Tarmuwa local government.
PREMIUM TIMES reported the attack during which the terrorists also burnt several houses and shops.
Hundreds of residents were displaced as a result of the attack.
“The figure is 34 people that were found dead, while five persons sustained injuries,” Dahiru Abdulsalam, Governor Mala Buni’s special adviser on security matters, told the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday.
”Four are in critical conditions, while the other, sustained a minor injury and he is in stable condition.”
Mr Abdulsalam suggested that the location of Mafa makes residents there soft targets for the Boko Haram.
”Any information apart from this is just a rumour. Nobody has gone to Mafa yesterday other than the troops, who brought these bodies.
”The insurgents are not confronting the military; they are confronting innocent civilians who are soft targets,” he said.
At the burial, the Yobe State Government announced the donation of N30 million to the families of the victims of the attack.
Idi Gubana, the state’s deputy governor, made the announcement when he led a delegation to burial ceremony.
He condoled with the Emir of Jajere, Buba Mashio, and the people of the area over the dastardly act.
Mr Gubana directed the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) to provide shelter and food items to the displaced persons who lost all their belongings as a result of the attack.
He stated that Governor Buni, who was utterly devastated by the killings, had visited the Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa, over sustainable security in Mafa.
The deputy governor noted that deployment of sufficient troops in Mafa – located at the border of Borno and Yobe – would prevent future attacks in the trade hub.
He prayed Allah to repose the souls of the deceased and grant their immediate families the fortitude to bear the loss.
Tinubu reacts
President Bola Tinubu commiserated with the government and the people of Yobe over the attack.
In a statement by his spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, the president also extended his condolences to bereaved families.
He described the killings as “an atrocious and cowardly act of terror by a degraded group of criminals,” Mr Ngelale wrote.
“The president prays for the repose of the souls of the deceased, speedy recovery for the wounded, and assures the people of Yobe State that the perpetrators of this sinister act will have an inevitable encounter with justice.”
