If this is true, then I will formally write him off as a useless man! Increase from N65 to N97, demonstrations, strikes and deaths. Buses will hike their fares by 100%. From N97 to whatever, demonstrations, strikes and deaths. Buses will still hike their fares by 100% making it 400% overall. Why not get it done with once and for all? |

DanKan0: The NLC Leader said it on Channels TV. I don't have that channel but everyone that heard him speak is confirming that NLC protests are suspended. That doesn't mean Occupy Nigeria won't be out tomorrow. They're demanding N65 or nothing. |

NLC has suspended their strike. I'm sure protesters will still be in Ojota by morning. Stop living your life on unconfirmed reports/rumors! Read this; ABUJA (AFP) – The Nigerian labour unions said they were considering their next moves after talks Sunday with President Goodluck Jonathan aimed at ending a week-old strike and mass protests over fuel prices. “We have come and listened to the president … on the issue of removal of fuel subsidy and we are going now to analyse the submission of Mr President and take a decision,” said Nigeria Labour Congress chief Abdulwahed Omar. Asked whether the strike that has shut down the country would resume as planned on Monday after a weekend pause, he said, “there are a wide range of possibilities.” Jonathan was expected to address the nation either late Sunday or Monday. Talks on Saturday at the presidency failed to end the strike over soaring fuel prices in Africa’s largest oil producer due to an end to government subsidies. But the mediator in the crisis, Senate President David Mark, said earlier Sunday that the government had reached a decision on how to move forward. A nationwide strike and protests that began January 9 have brought tens of thousands into the streets and shut down Africa’s most populous nation. While the strike was suspended for the weekend, labour leaders warned it would resume Monday if a deal had not been reached. But an earlier threat to shut down oil production however has been put on hold. |

15 th January, 2012 Press Statement WHY LABOUR— FG TALKS STALLED AND STRIKE/PROTESTS CONTINUE MONDAY 16 JANUARY 2012 The talks between the Federal Government and Labour represented by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) in Abuja on Saturday 14 th January, 2012 stalled due to differences on the methodology in finding a solution to the crisis. Labour's analysis of the situation is that tension is very high in the land following the fuel price increase, the resultant strikes, rallies and street protests and the human causalities that have followed. And that a suspension of the new petrol prices will reduce tension and return the country to normalcy. We decided to make a plea to President Goodluck Jonathan in the overriding interest of the country to suspend the PMS (petrol) price increases and direct that talks between government and Labour be concluded on the petroleum industry especially at it affects fuel subsidy and pricing within a short time frame. We made a pledge that once the price increase suspension is announced, Labour and its allies will immediately suspend the strikes, rallies and street protests. The summary of Labour's position at the meeting was that talks and consultations were on- going before government aborted them by announcing the 120- 220 per cent increase in the price of petrol, and that it is necessary to return to the status quo in order to douse tension, return the country to normalcy and allow for a conducive atmosphere for consultations and talks. However, Government's only offer was to reduce the new prices while declining to allow a phased price increase. We think that the government position will not return the country to normalcy. The Labour Movement pledges that whenever and wherever government invites us for talks, we shall be there without any conditionality. Objectives of the Strikes and Protests The Labour Movement once again reiterate that the strikes, rallies and streets protests must be peaceful and that the objective is the reversal of the petrol (PMS ) prices to their pre- January 1, 2012 level. We are therefore not campaigning for 'Regime Change' The Labour Movement is wedded to democracy, therefore, anybody or group that wants a change in the political leadership of the country at whatever level, should do so through the ballot box. The Labour Movement and its Civil Society allies are also saddened by the unprecedented loss of lives and injuries sustained during the indefinite strikes, rallies and streets protests that commenced from Monday January 9, 2012. We reiterate that those who visit violence on protesters and their masters who gave such evil orders will individually be brought to justice. We in the Labour Movement have done our duty to our country; we have made tremendous sacrifices including loss of lives; we have carried out the mandate of the Nigerian people; we can do no more. For the avoidance of any doubt, the indefinite strikes, rallies and protests continue nationwide from Monday 16 th January, 2012.

[size=18pt]Furthermore, the legal and regulatory regime for the petroleum industry will be reviewed to address accountability issues and current lapses in the Industry. In this regard, the Petroleum Industry Bill will be given accelerated attention.[/size] The report of the forensic audit carried out on the NNPC is being studied with a view to implementing the recommendations and sanctioning proven acts of corruption in the industry. Let's see the sincerity of the NASS as the touted mouth piece of the people in recent days . . . . and the sincerity of the protesters to hound them till that bill is passed into law . . . Time to prove to us that our agitation is beyond subsidy removal but a holistic approach to tackle the root cause of our challenges |

[size=13pt]Those of you busy spreading false news should know that you aid in ruining the chance this country has for real change. Instead of constantly creating threads with conflicting reports. . . .most of them UNSUBSTANTIATED rumours. Rather than allow yourselves used to derail the efforts of the people, why not stay your hands until we get real reports on changes occurring, or not occurring.[/size] |

This thing is no longer about 65 naira or even 97 naira/ litre of petrol. It is about corruption in Government and people should be held responsible. There are no "checks and balances" in the Government and also there is lack of "separation of powers" If SLS has been shouting all these while about corruption and some people are taking the fuel out of the country to sell, why is it then difficult for judiciary to act independently and prosecute all these thieves without the executive interfering? If Jonathan can reduce the pump price to 97 naira, why is it difficult for him to reduce salaries and allowances of these thieves in the SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE?? So, this is all about accountability and transparency in Government. |
Re: President Jonathan Approves N97/Litre As The New Pump Price For Petrol by stkris(m): 2:12am On Jan 16, 2012 |
N65 or nothing. A push should also be made to review and cut the ridiculous allowance packages payed to govt. officials. |
