Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Kano State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has said the Federal Government\u2019s [palliative measure to cushion the effects of the removal of fuel subsidy is deceptive.<\/p>\n

The chapter, which joined the national body\u2019s nationwide protest, lamented that just two months into President Bola Ahmed Tinubu\u2019s administration, he had declared war o the masses with his unpopular policies.<\/p>\n

Kabiru Inuwa, Chairman of the NLC in Kano said the union is not a political party and would never play politics with the lives of Nigerians. He expressed shock that the government had planned to stop the protest through a court order, saying it showed unfriendliness to Nigerians.<\/p>\n

He complained that the committees set up by the government to address issues on fuel subsidy removal, wages and other matters never sat, bemoaning Tinubu\u2019s nationwide address after they threatened a strike.<\/p>\n

\u201cTinubu should let the masses breathe. Palliative he promised should be quickly shared and also started implementing policies and programs he want to do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Responding, the protesters chanted that they did not want the palliative, demanding the restoration of the fuel subsidy regime.<\/p>\n

The State Secretary to the Government, Dr. Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, earlier created a scene by blocking the protesting NLC members halfway to Government House but the protesters shouted at him, rejecting his moves to address them midway to the Government House.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Government House roundabout, Bichi promised to submit the request of the NLC to the State Governor for onward transmission to the Federal Government.<\/p>\n
