The APC Professionals Council is urging the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to reconsider its nationwide protest and opt for dialogue with the government as a more effective approach to address the sufferings resulting from the removal of fuel subsidies by the federal government.
In a statement made by the national director-general of the council, Hon. Seyi Bamigbade, he appealed to the labor leaders to exercise patience during this challenging time.
He expressed optimism that the government, under President Bola Tinubu’s leadership, would take necessary measures to alleviate the hardships faced by the people.
According to him, the removal of fuel subsidies and its current effects are temporary, and he believes it will have a positive long-term impact on the economy and the nation as a whole.
By engaging in constructive dialogue, the government and labor can work together to find solutions that will benefit the citizens and ensure a better future for all.
“On the ongoing nationwide protest by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), we call on the Labour leaders to be patient and halt the planned strike as we are optimistic that the government at all levels is working to fashion out modalities of reducing the sufferings as a result of the fuel hike.
“What the labour should engage now is dialogue so that all the parties will reach a compromise which we believe will be in the interest of the masses”, he said.
