The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), on Wednesday
thanked its members and affiliates for coming out enmasse
to carry out the industrial action against the increase in the
price of fuel.
This was contained in a statement signed by Peter Ozo-
Eson, NLC’s secretary general. The union said: “We salute
their courage, patriotism and sacrifice in the face of
overwhelming acts of threats and treachery.”
NLC promised to continue the protest, noting that “no
reasonable struggle comes easy, and this cannot be
different”.
“Thus, in pursuance of the mandate given by the NEC of the
Congress in conjunction with our Civil Society allies, the
protest continues tomorrow,
“Accordingly, we urge you to mobilise your members,
friends or colleagues for the continuation of the protest
tomorrow.
“You are requested to assemble at Berger Roundabout
tomorrow at 7 a.m.
“For those who are yet to join the strike action, we similarly
urge you to muster the necessary courage to be part of this
historic struggle in defence of yourself, the weak and the
vulnerable.
“No level of comfort today or primordial sentiments should
blind us to the cruel realities of the increase in the pump
price of the petroleum products as what we are seeing is
just the beginning.”
