A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
lawmaker in Cross River, Mr Hilary
Bisong, on Monday called on the
Organised Labour to shelve its
proposed nationwide strike over
the new petrol pump price. Bisong, who represents Boki II in
the Cross River House of
Assembly, made the call in an
interview with the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) in Calabar. He said instead of embarking on
strike, the Nigeria Labour
Congress (NLC) and the Trade
Union Congress (TUC) should
dialogue with the Federal
Government on the N56,000 minimum wage they presented to
the government on May 1. The lawmaker, who said the
increase from N86.50 to N145 per
litre would cause immediate
hardship to Nigerians, pointed out
the benefits in future. According to him, the organised
labour should shelve the proposed
strike and get the government to
negotiate on the proposed
minimum wage of N56,000. “As we speak, long queues have
disappeared from the filling
stations in Calabar. “The increase is painful, but it will
benefit us in the nearest future
because the government has
begun the issuance of import
permits to private marketers. “I urge NLC and TUC to shelve
their proposed strike; they should
insist on the negotiation and
implementation of a new minimum
wage to cushion the effect of the
fuel price increase. “There is no way government
would increase the pump price and
allow the minimum wage to remain
at N18, 000. “This N18,000 can no longer take
some people home due to the
rising cost of food stuff and other
items in the market. “The government should consider
an urgent negotiation with labour
for a review of national minimum
wage,’’ he said. |

The looming strike has nothing to do with PDP. Buhari must be forced to sign his resignation letter for peace to return. Save Nigeria, #impeach the dullard now# |
