The Nigeria Labour Congress has kicked against the new fuel price of 143.8 naira announced by the Petroleum Products Price Regulatory Agency.

The congress demanded a reversal of the pump price to the old price, arguing that that the prices of crude oil in the international market had only slightly increased from the previous price before the downward review was announced two months ago.

The NLC President, AYUBA WABBA, in a statement described the hike in the fuel pump price and the proposed electricity tariff hike as “potent threat to run millions of Nigerians under.”

He asked the Federal Government to rehabilitate the refineries and disclose the timelines for this.
