NLC urges FG to act as petrol price climbs to N1,300 per litre The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has called on the Federal Government to urgently intervene following the surge in petrol prices to between N1,230 and N1,300 per litre across the country. The appeal was made in a statement by the president of the labour union, Joe Ajaero, who warned that the sharp rise in fuel prices is worsening the economic hardship faced by Nigerian workers. According to Ajaero, the increase in petrol prices has significantly pushed up transportation costs, food prices, and the general cost of living for households across the country. Labour calls for urgent relief measures The labour leader urged the government to introduce immediate relief measures to cushion the impact of rising fuel costs on workers and vulnerable citizens. “The sudden increase in petrol price to between N1,170 and N1,300 per litre has further deepened the economic hardship faced by Nigerian workers and the general populace,” Ajaero said
