NLC Wants Downward Review of Petroleum Pump Price

President of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Ayuba Waba, has called for a downward review of the current price of petroleum products in Nigeria.

Waba made the call on Tuesday while responding to questions from newsmen in Jalingo, capital of Taraba State. He described the recent increment in pump price of petrol as a means to exploit Nigerians to enrich few oil marketers.

The labour leader noted that with the increase, the Federal Government was aiding the oil marketers to enrich themselves at the detriment of the entire Nigerian population, just as he contended that the new pump price was not necessary as the price of crude oil in the international markets had not increased in the recent times which was one of the reasons given by the oil marketers.

“Essentially, it is about the exploitation of Nigerians as the Federal Government seems to be protecting the oil marketers rather than defending the citizens. And if you say it is because of oil price which has also not gone up in the international markets, then this is double tragedy”.

Waba urged government not to leave the control of the essential commodity to oil marketers on the grounds of high the exchange rates. Rather, he said government should regulate the prices of petroleum products in fulfillment of electioneering promises to Nigerians.

The NLC President urged those in leadership positions ensure good governance so as to address the inequality and poverty rate in the country.

“We need good governance in Nigeria; that is why all of us need to come together to reject some of these obnoxious polices that are meant to exploit Nigerians. We will continue to engage the government and very soon, we will roll out plans and actions that we will do to ensure that the right things are done”.
