The National Labour Congress (NLC) has questioned the payment of fuel subsidies over the years, demanding the disclosure of those receiving the money.
Raye24reporters reports that the NLC has fixed Wednesday to begin a nationwide strike over the sudden increase in petrol pump price across the country.
Speaking during an interview with Arise Television on Sunday evening, NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, asked the President Bola Tinubu-led administration to reveal companies receiving subsidy payments.
“We need to know who these subsidies were paid to and what the funds were used for.
“Can we have the names of the people and companies that collected these subsidies? We have agreed on some alternatives before now, why are those alternatives not working?” He asked.
He also expressed disappointment following meeting between the government and the NLC on Sunday, June 4.
According to him, no progress was made during the meeting because “the government did not seem interested in the NLC’s position regarding the fuel pump price increase resulting from the removal of fuel subsidies by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu”.
