The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, said it would meet with the federal government on how workers could survive the recent hike in the pump price of petrol.

According to the labour movement, the current price of petrol has eroded the gains of the yet-to-be implemented N70,000 new national minimum wage. 

President of NLC, JOE AJAERO in a statement, insisted that the labour union was deceived by President BOLA TINUBU into accepting the N70, 000 minimum wage to forestall petrol price increase.

He advised the government to address the unbearable hunger, poverty and frustration of Nigerians before things go out of hand, lamenting that Nigerians were really suffering.
