The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has warned that those pushing for subsidy removal in Nigeria want to set the country on fire.
This follows the announcement that the outgoing government of President Mohammadu Buhari had left the decision of petrol subsidy removal to the incoming government.
According to NLC, the focus should be on local refining of petroleum products, declaring that anybody thinking of subsidy removal at this time wants to blow up the country.
General Secretary of NLC, Emma Ugboaja, said this in a chat in Lagos, adding that nobody should drag Nigerian masses and workers into any increase in fuel price in the name of subsidy.
