Please express your feelings on the outcome of the strike action. Do you feel that the strike achieved it's desired aim? Also what do you feel about NLC and TUC's descision to suspend the strike action? Let me start.

I feel let down and betrayed by the NLC and TUC's decision to suspend the strike for three reasons. The first being that Waheed Omar acknowledged many times during the strike that the people's mandate was for Jona to take the pump price back to N65/litre or nothing. Why then did they settle for N97 a litre which still marks approximately 50% increment? Also NLC and TUC claimed that they were not part of the decision making process that reviewed the pump price but they ended up accepting it?

Second, when the strike started, the scope, aims and objectives expanded way beyond achieving a downward review of the pump price of petrol. The struggle then encompassed a downward review of the cost of governance, fighting corruption in the oil sector, instilling transparency in governance etc but i was surprised as everything was narrowed to a mere N97/litre of petrol?

Third. Counting the costs versus achievements of the struggle. It actually cost Nigerians 6 or seven days of strike (which amounted to at least N700b in lost revenue) and 19 lives of young nigerians to achieve a new pump price of N97/litre? I felt that after the seven days strike, the struggle had reached a point of no return. I thought that NLC and TUC would not backdown until we achieved landmark victory. Not a mere N97/litre

My 2 cents though. Please feel free to air your opinions.
