The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has issued a two week ultimatum to the federal government to reverse the recent hike in electricity tariff and the pump price of petrol or face civil unrest nationwide.
This is the outcome of the Central Working Committee meeting which held for several hours at the nation’s capital, Abuja.
In a communiqué read by NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, the body said the ultimatum takes immediate effect, warning that at the end of its expiration on September 28; it would mobilize its members nationwide for civil unrest.
Recall that the Trade Union Congress (TUC) had earlier threatened to mobiliSe for strike next week Wednesday if the Federal Government does not reverse the increases.
A meeting between the Government and the organised labour on Tuesday to find common ground ended in stalemate.
