As the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress works on plans to investigate payments for imported fuel made under the Muhammadu Buhari administration, the Federal Government’s policy of eliminating subsidies could have snowballed into another crisis.
Joe Ajaero, president of the Nigeria Labour Congress, made this statement on Friday during an emergency meeting of the labour union’s National Executive Council in Abuja.
Ajaero bemoaned the situation, saying that the majority of State Governors were still delinquent in paying the N30,000 minimum wage and that the government was pretending not to know that more than 50% of Nigeria’s population was living in multidimensional poverty.
“We are going to probe subsidy payments in the last eight years, at least that under the immediate past administration of Muhammadu Buhari because nobody seems to be looking in that direction,” he stated in the presence of media organisations on ground at the briefing session.
