NLC rules out strike action tomorrow

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has said it has no plans to commence industrial action on Friday to protest increase in the prices of premium motor spirit otherwise known as petrol.

The Congress however said it would hold meetings tomorrow to deliberate on the price increase.

It promised to keep Nigerians informed on its next line of action after the meetings.

Head of Information and Public Affairs, NLC, Benson Upah said this in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), on Wednesday jerked up the pump prices of premium motor spirit otherwise known as petrol (PMS) by over 200 per cent bringing the price of fuel to between N488 and N557 per litre.
