The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) on Thursday alleged that Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has stripped itself of every strand of credibility, public trust and confidence. The group noted that NLC has developed a penchant over the years for mass public deception over issues of serious national importance. According to the CNG, on every occasion, the NLC would deceive the public into believing they are protecting their interests, only to betray the course, and negotiate with the government at the expense of the suffering masses.
Fuel Subsidy: Labour Congress, NLC Has Lost Competence To Speak For Nigerians After Previous Failures, Say Northern GroupsThe Coalition of Northern Groups on Thursday alleged that Nigeria Labour Congress has stripped itself of every strand of credibility, public trust and confidence.
According to the statement, CNG said it is amazed by the desperation of independent oil marketers who are quick to hike the fuel pump prices by almost five hundred percent within just 12 hours of the announcement of the subsidy removal. "CNG also observes that at every occasion, the NLC would deceive the public into believing they are protecting their interests, only to betray the course, negotiate with government at the expense of the suffering masses.
"However, the strike was called off at the last minute after a meeting between government officials and labour leaders in Abuja. "Now that NLC wants to take the nation for granted once more, we demand that it should, first of all, explain its whereabouts at the time the budget was prepared, presented, defended by the government of the former president Muhammadu Buhari and passed by the 9th National Assembly without the provision for subsidy.
