The Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) has issued a circular for all of its members, urged them to embark on a nationwide indefinite strike.

The document dated May 13, 2016, explains that the action is necessary for showing the disagreement of the union with the federal government’s decision to set the price for the premium motor spirit (PMS) at N145 per litre.

You are by this circular directed to sensitize all the Local Government workers in your State towards embarking on indefinite strike/mass protest action slated to commence on Wednesday 18th May, 2016, across the country till further notice.

You are advised to liaise with the leadership of Nigeria Labour Congress in your State for further arrangement concerning the protest and give this directive a widest publicity it deserves.

Thanks.

It would be noted that the Nigeria Labour Congress, the Trade Union Congress, and civil society organisations have already issued an ultimatum to President Buhari. Apart from the call to return PMS price back to N86.5 per litre, the unions want the federal government to reconsider the 45% increase in electricity tariffs, reconstitute the dissolved boards of PPPRA and NNPC, among other demands.
