Joe Ajaero, the NLC president, Joe Ajaero, speaking during an interview said that Nigerians are being deceived on the issue of petrol pricing.
“President Bola Tinubu’s administration is toying with Nigerians and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) is only being clever by half,” the NLC president said.
“If the government withdrew subsidies of petroleum products and suddenly, while we are about to start committee meetings, there is another price increase, why then will government seek a court injunction and use other measures if it is not their business?JAMB Result
“It seems we have entered a reign where Nigerians are being punished unnecessarily and where lies are coming up everywhere.
“NNPCL cannot import and say the commodity is imported by marketers, that is not true,” Ajaero said.
