The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has announced its plan to hold a nationwide protest beginning next week Wednesday to express its discontent over the removal of subsidies.

The Congress has issued a stern 7-day ultimatum to the Federal Government, urging it to reverse what it perceives as anti-poor policies. Of particular concern is the recent increase in the price of petrol to N617 per litre.

In a bid to amplify their demands, the NLC has further stated that should the government fail to heed their call for a policy reversal within the specified time frame, workers nationwide will embark on an indefinite strike, commencing also on next Wednesday.

This could potentially disrupt various economic activities across the country.While awaiting an official statement from the NLC, the Spokesman of the Congress has already confirmed the resolution.The decision to shut down economic activities across the nation was taken during the National Working Committee meeting of the Congress held on Tuesday.
