The Nigeria Labour Congress(NLC) which has rejected the new pump price of petrol, has said various organs of the union are still consulting on the matter.
The union on Thursday explained that it has no plan to commence industrial action on Friday to protest increase in the prices of premium motor spirit otherwise known as petrol.
The Congress however stated that it would continue to hold organ meetings to deliberate on the price increase assuring that Nigerians will be informed on its next line of action after the meetings.
Head of Information and Public Affairs, NLC, Benson Upah announced this in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.
The statement by NLC reads: “Our attention has been drawn to stories circulating in the social media space claiming that the Nigeria Labour Congress would commence protest action tomorrow (Friday, June 2nd) against the increase in the pump price of pms.
“Inasmuch as we are outraged by this mindless price increase which is intended to bring untold hardship to ordinary Nigerians, we have no plan to start any action tomorrow.
“What we do have for now are organ meetings slated for tomorrow, Friday, June 2nd, 2023 to deliberate on the price issue.
“We promise to keep Nigerians informed on our next line of action after our meetings.
“In light of this, we advise the public to disregard these stories. They did not èmanate from the Congress.”
