The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has threatened to picket filling stations that hoard fuel as scarcity bites harder.
The NLC issued the threat on Wednesday in Abuja, at the end of its virtual National Executive Council (NEC) meeting.
Its President, Ayuba Wabba, said the meeting deliberated on three major issues bordering on alleged plan to move the national minimum wage from exclusive legislative list to concurrent list; establishing state judiciary councils through constitution amendment and tackling prevailing hoarding of petrol by marketers in major cities of the country.
The NEC urged relevant regulatory agencies of government to arrest the growing queues, warning that the situation could spread to other cities soon if urgent steps are not taken.
“The NEC warned that should the current artificial scarcity persist, the various leadership structures of the NLC would picket petrol stations found to be inflicting pains on Nigerians,” Wabba said.
