The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has accused fuel marketers of inflating petrol prices, claiming the pump price is significantly higher than the actual market value.

The NLC contends that Nigerians are being exploited, with citizens enduring heightened suffering and hunger due to government policies that are pushing many into destitution.

In a communiqué released following its National Executive Council meeting, the NLC highlighted the severe economic hardship across the country and called for an urgent review of policies it described as anti-people.

The organization’s call underscores its growing concerns over the economic strain on Nigerians and its commitment to holding both fuel marketers and the government accountable for citizens’ welfare.
