Nigeria Labour Congress Explains Why It Suspended Planned Nationwide ‘Subsidy Strike’ 

The union accused the federal government of exploiting ex-parte injunctions to silence workers.  

NLC’s explanation came as KPMG, a multinational audit, tax and advisory services firm, on Tuesday, predicted that the current withdrawal of petrol subsidy in Nigeria could see the inflation rate climb to 30 per cent from June. It recommended that measures be put in place to mitigate the effect of the new policy.
