Senator Ali Ndume, former Senate Leader, APC, Borno South, has asked President Bola Tinubu to personally lead negotiation with the Nigeria Labour Congress, following its threat to call workers out on strike on Wednesday over removal of fuel subsidy by the federal government.
He also appealed to the leadership of the NLC to embrace negotiation with government in the interest of the people. In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, Ndume said: “This fuel subsidy removal is something we must do now or never. We need to open the wounds now and begin to heal them. The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, needs to work with the government and see how the effects can be minimised”.
He added that “If we don’t remove the subsidy now, some people will continue to milk this country. NLC should go to the negotiation table with the Federal Government”.
He called on President Tinubu to personally meet with the Labour leaders and resolve the issues.
