NLC Accuses Tinubu of Betrayal Over Fuel Price Hike
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has accused President Bola Tinubu of betrayal following a significant increase in fuel prices. In a statement by NLC President Joe Ajaero, the labor body expressed outrage over the clandestine hike in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), calling it a breach of trust.
The NLC noted that one of the reasons they agreed to the N70,000 national minimum wage was the assurance that fuel prices would remain stable, criticizing the government for implementing harsh market policies that have worsened living conditions for Nigerians.
The NLC also condemned the government’s crackdown on protesters, including the arrest and detention of citizens on what they describe as trumped-up charges. They demanded the immediate reversal of the fuel price hike, the release of detained protesters, and an end to policies that exacerbate poverty and insecurity. The NLC vowed to stand firm with the Nigerian people and warned that they would take decisive actions in the coming days to address these issues.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
