Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The National Labour Congress has revealed plans to meet over the recent 45 percent increase in the price of Premium Motor Spirit (Petrol) by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited.<\/p>\n

This comes as it asked the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited to reverse the N855 and N897 petrol pump increase on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Nigeria Labour Congress disclosed this in a statement signed by its president Joe Ajaero on Tuesday in reaction to the petrol price hike.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the coming days, the appropriate organs of the Congress will be meeting to take appropriate decisions which will be made public,\u201d NLC said.<\/p>\n

NLC added that it felt betrayed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu\u2019s led administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut if truth be told, this act of betrayal is consistent with the character of this government\u201d, NLC said.<\/p>\n

Consequently, NLC said, \u201cWe demand the immediate: Reversal of the latest increase in the pump of PMS across the country\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Worker\u2019s Union also demanded the release of all bad governance protesters and the reversal of the 250 percent April 2024 electricity tariff hike.<\/p>\n

NNPCL adjusted the petrol pump price by 45 percent.<\/p>\n

The development came at the same time as the rollout of Dangote Refinery\u2019s petrol.<\/p>\n

In June 2024, NLC and the Trade Union Congress shut down the economy in protest against economic hardship.<\/p>\n
