Sequel to the alleged plan by the Federal Government Nigeria to remove fuel subsidy, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) after the end of the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, has declared January 27 and February 1, 2022, as dates for the nationwide protests against the fuel subsidy removal.
The NLC, in its communique, noted that the Buhari’s government is “extremely insensitive to the acute hardship being experienced by Nigerian workers and people.”
It is important to note that since 1999 President Obasanjo came to power, successive governments have increased the fuel prices which resulted in numerous mass protests and nationwide strikes.
