NLC, PDP Reject Petrol Price Hike, Demand Reversal
The Nigeria Labour Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party yesterday kicked against the new fuel price of N143.80k announced by the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency .
The congress demanded a reversal of the pump price to the old price, saying 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. “Just as the lockdown is being eased out and as soon as the interstate travel ban was lifted, the government decided to hike the petrol price. Nigerian people and workers are forced to interpret this move as grand mischief and deceit.
“Government simply wants to transfer the cost of its own inefficiencies to the Nigerian people. Nigerian workers say ‘No’ to such. There is no way Nigerians would accept a situation where we are charged international rates for a product which Nigeria is the sixth-largest producer in the world.
