NLC rules out fuel subsidy protest

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has ruled out a nationwide protest over the withdrawal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government.

Reports emerged on Thursday that the congress planned to organise nationwide protest following the return of queues at filling stations and an increase in the prices of petroleum products by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL).

The meeting between the Federal Government and organized labour on the fuel subsidy crisis ended in a deadlock on Wednesday.
