Issa AremuThe organised Labour might embark on industrial action to force the federal government to put an end to the persistent fuel crisis in the country, which has subjected millions of Nigerians to severe economic hardship, labour leader, Issa Aremu, has warned.
Aremu, a member of the National Executive Council (NEC) of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), said in Kaduna yesterday that the protracted fuel crisis was a reflection of “crisis of corporate governance in the petroleum sector,” pointing out that the federal government must end the scarcity with the shortest possible time.
According to him, the bane of downstream sector was “abysmal absence of accountability, transparency and openness in the administration of the petroleum resources of Nigeria,” adding that only the parliament can make a difference in “exposing the rot” in the sector.
NLC may be forced to go on industrial action over fuel scarcity, says Aremu
