The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), has once again, criticised the Federal Government’s palliatives following the removal of fuel subsidy.
While the federal government had abolished the commodity’s subsidy several months prior, it nevertheless provided food aid to the state governments for distribution to Nigerians. It also granted them N5 billion.
But hours after launching a two-day statewide strike owing to the implications of fuel subsidy reduction, the NLC President Joe Ajaero, on Friday, said the distribution of food palliatives is inadequate to fight the ramifications of the government’s move.
