Nigerian unions on Saturday called for a national strike
from next week to protest a 67 percent increase in the
pump price of petrol in Africa’s largest crude producer.

“If by midnight on Tuesday next week the government
fails to reverse the price of petrol to 86.50 naira per litre,
we will have no other option than to order workers to
begin an indefinite strike from Wednesday,” Nigeria
Labour Congress (NLC) general secretary Peter Ozo-Eson
told AFP.

He said the decision was taken after a meeting of both the
NLC and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) — the two
umbrella organisations for Nigerian workers.

“We have directed our affiliates and civil society allies to
mobilise their members for the impending showdown with
government over this anti-people policy,” he said.

Ozo-Esson said the proposed strike was also to force
government to reverse a recent hike in the electricity
tariff in the energy- starved country which generates just
around 4,000 megawatts for a population of more than
170 million people.

The unions said businesses including banks, airports,
seaports, markets and government offices would be shut
during the strike.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, yesterday arraigned
one Nura Amadi (pictured) before a Justice of the FCT High Court,
Abuja on a five count charge bordering on misappropriation of funds
and issuance of dud cheques.

According to EFCC, Nura Amadi, a former staff of Balis Bureau de
Change Limited, Abuja was allegedly entrusted by his company with
money to the tune of N24.4million including $20,000 for the purpose
of trading for the company sometime in 2014, but he dishonestly
converted it all to his personal use.

In a bid to refund the money, Amadi twice issued cheques that were
returned unpaid when presented at the bank due to insufficient funds
in his account. After further efforts by the company to recover the
money were futile, he was turned in to the authorities.
