The organized labour is up in arms against last week's hike in the pump price of petrol.
Already, the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC and the Trade Union Congress, TUC have given the Federal Government up till midnight of Tuesday, May 17th to reverse the hike failing which they would take the following actions.
"· Mobilize to the streets across the country, ordinary and helpless Nigerians to whom they owe the duty of protection;
· Shut down all Banks, Sea and Airports, Government and private offices as well as Markets.
· Commence indefinite nationwide strike action.
· Fight/resist the machinations and cruelties of the neo-liberal forces in the government as part of the process of saving the government from itself and the generality of Nigerians from slavery."
The labour leaders advised Nigerians to stock up on food in anticipation of the looming nationwide industrial action.
