The Trade Union Congress (TUC) has said that the Federal Government is pushing Nigerians to the wall for allowing the problem of fuel scarcity to linger for days across the country.
It was reported that commuters and motorists are lamenting as the scarcity of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) popularly called petrol bites harder.
Findings had also revealed that a litre is sold for as high as N600 at the parallel or ‘black’ market in Abuja instead of between N162 and N165.
At a press conference on Wednesday in Abuja, the TUC disclosed that it has begun consultations at appropriate quarters but the union might be forced to take an “emergency decision”.
President of TUC, Quadri Olaleye, specifically said that if the situation persists after its consultation, the union might be forced to lead a nationwide mass action.
“At the moment, we are watching, we are monitoring and doing some engagements for us to be able to make emergency decisions. When labour makes an emergency decision, you know what it means? It is either strike or protest.
“You can see that even what they are using to investigate the man-made problem is part of the funds made for the Nigerian workers. So, we are monitoring and when it is time to take a decision we will,” he said.
The union leader also told journalists that the TUC and its counterpart in Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) had commenced a process of organising and mobilising workers and like-minded political actors for political alternatives to the leadership problems in Nigeria.
