NLC demands reversal of fuel price hike, release of detained protesters

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has expressed disappointment over the latest hike in fuel prices.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has increased the price of the product across its retail outlets from 568 to ₦885 per litre.

This followed a denial by the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Heineken Lokpobiri, that the Federal Government had approved an increase in fuel prices.
