LEGIT NG
Wasiu Olawale Sadare, the Oyo state All Progressives Congress (APC) spokesman, has revealed five things President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should do to fix the economy from further collapse.
The APC chieftain disclosed that if the steps are taken it would assist the federal government better in meeting the demands of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and its counterpart, the Trade Union Congress(TUC) as well as avert the proposed planned strike.
Recall that the unions are masterminding the strike, scheduled to be held on Tuesday, October 3rd, 2023, despite an appeal by the government.
The leadership of the unions has resolved to shut down the country if the Sunday, October 1st address of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu failed to the nation, does not address their demands.
“It’s going to be a total shutdown … until government meets the demand of Nigerian workers, and in fact Nigerian masses,” the union leaders said in a joint statement.
Meanwhile, the Unions have been pushing Tinubu to reverse his decision on May 29, to scrap the decades-old subsidy that had kept fuel prices low but was draining government finances.
Prices have risen sharply, including the cost of food, transport and power as most businesses and households rely on petrol generators for electricity, following Tinubu’s announcement.
