Senator Ali Ndume has urged Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to call off its scheduled Wednesday strike and go back to the negotiating table.
Ndume in a statement released recently, recommended effective communication prior to industrial action.
He also requested a meeting between the NLC and the President, Bola Tinubu, to discuss the pros and cons of subsidy removal.
The statement read: “This fuel subsidy removal is something we must do now or never. We need to open the wounds now and begin to heal them. The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) needs to work with the government and see how the effects can be minimized.
“If we don’t remove the subsidy now, some people will continue to milk this country. NLC should go to the negotiation table with the Federal Government.”
“The NLC should not go on a strike first before negotiation. They should not make that mistake. Besides, there is no budget for subsidy. Where will the money come from?
“I call on President Tinubu to personally meet with Labour leaders and resolve the issues. He should also assure them that things will be alright.”
