Fuel Scarcity In Nigeria

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) president, Ayuba Wabba, on Thursday, March 25, said citizens can't take another increment in the prices of petroleum products.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) on Sunday, February 28, denied claims that it will increase the price of petroluem product in March, 2021.

Timipre Sylva, state minister for petroleum, who spoke during a meeting of leaders of organised labour on Monday, February 1, raised alarm over petrol scarcity.

The current fuel scarcity in Abuja and its environs was caused by the EndSARS protests, according to a statement by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.

As part of his Independence Day speech on Thursday, October 1, President Muhammadu Buhari hinted on the possible adjustment of the prices of petroleum product.

The verdict of the National Industrial Court (NIC) restraining the planned nationwide strike has been shunned by the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the NLC.
