The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has condemned the current petrol scarcity across the country, which exposed millions of Nigerians to great hardship, saying it has taken a position.

NLC President, Mr Ayuba Wabba, said this on Wednesday in Abuja, in a statement entitled; “’ The Position of Nigerian Workers on Festering issues of National Importance”.

“We also state that this situation reinforces our argument for domestic refining of petroleum,” he said. “In order to protect the future of our youths whose academic life is being disrupted, we urge the Federal Government to implement all the agreements it entered with ASUU.“Furthermore, President Muhammadu Buhari had earlier directed that a Federal Government team should meet with ASUU to resolve all the outstanding issues.

“We respect the judgment of the Supreme Court on Executive Order 10, declared by President Muhammadu Buhari to provide guidelines for the implementation of the autonomy of local governments, state legislature and the judiciary. “It is our considered view that the autonomy of these critical tiers and arms of government is paramount to our collective commitment to strengthen public institutions for effective delivery of good governance and national development,” he said.

“Our experience since the creation of State Independent Electoral Commissions , is a tale of massive abuse and truncation of free, fair and periodic elections at the local government councils,” he said.
