The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the new Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, appear to be at odds over his recent comments suggesting the need to fully deregulate the country’s downstream petroleum sector and remove government’s subsidy on petrol.
This Dayreports that while speaking at its national leadership retreat in Calabar, the President of NLC, Ayuba Wabba, accused Kachikwu of failing to comprehend the extent of the job for which Buhari employed him to do at the NNPC as he was beginning to contradict the stance of Buhari on the controversial issue of petrol subsidy removal.
He noted that President Buhari has consistently said he is not convinced that the vast majority of poor Nigerians can afford to bear the negative effects of the removal of the so-called subsidy on petrol. As such, he vowed that the NLC and its affiliate unions would continue to resist any attempt at removing fuel subsidy
