The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Comrade Joe Ajearo, has attributed government’s policy somersault to the current price war between the Nigerian National Petroleum Coporation Limited (NNPCL) and Dangote.

 

Speaking with airport Correspondents at the Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal Two Wednesday in Lagos, Ajearo described what has been going on between the duos as fraudulent, saying, in a deregulated economy there is choice and competition

 

He argued the basis for regulating what Dangote is to be sold adding that deciding for the private sector is fraudulent.

 

Ajearo called on Nigerians to speak up as government is trying to dectate for the private sector how much he will sell his product

 

“For a product produced here, he didn’t import with dollar, there was no landing cost and they want him to sell it at the same cost of what they are brining from abroad. That is fraudulent and unacceptable”

 

The NLC boss said, what Nigerians witnessed in the last two weeks is to frustrate Dangote

 

Ajearo said the government has failed to repair the refineries as promised in August last year when they came on board adding that September 2024, nothing is working.

 

On the implementation of the N70,000 minimum wage by the government, Ajearo said there is no cause for alarm as it will be implemented according agreement reached in April 18, 2024.

 

He said the meeting on consequential adjustment committee is currently working towards implementation.

 

Ajearo said government will pay the minimum as the National Assembly has passed the bill.
