NLC And TUC Salute Nigeria People and Calls for Renewed Resolve As The Strike Continues

21 June 2007

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) again commend the generality of the Nigeria people for observing the general strike. The level of compliance, mass support and participation has remained appreciable across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, in all sectors of the economy and in all spheres of life.

In particular, we commend the peaceful conduct of workers and other members of the public during the strike, pickets and other protest activities in various parts of the Country.

We also commend the manifest civility demonstrated by the Police in the ongoing general strike/mass protests. This is a marked departure from the excessive high-handedness which Police had displayed in the past.

We also condemn the reported deployment of officers and men of the Army and Navy to operate fuel depots and other purely civil infrastructures for which they have no mandate.

Over all, the NLC and TUC remain disappointed by the apparent indifference of the Federal Government to the popular wishes of the people by returning the price of petrol to N65 per litre.

In this regard, we wish to remind President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua that the generality of Nigerians expect him to muster the will to return the price of petrol to N65 per litre, as he had in respect of kerosene and diesel.

We again call on President Yar’Adua to live up to his promise to be a listening President and a servant-leader, who would provide succor and comfort to a people. By implication, these commitments obviously mean a lot to a people battered by eight years of punitive neoliberal reforms.

President Yar’Adua’s silence and failure to return the price to N65 is capable of being construed as a repudiation of his promised commitment to be a listening and compassionate President and a servant of the people.

Consequently, silence and indifference to the popular demand for a return of the price of petrol to N65 as was done to other products is not in consonance with the above commitments.

As the strike reaches its third day tomorrow, Friday, June 22, 2007, the NLC, TUC and the Joint Action forum (JAF) would continue to provide leadership for the peaceful conduct of the action. All offices, filling stations, schools, markets, business premises etc will remain closed. Sensitive utilities like water and electricity may be completely shut down.

In furtherance of our commitment to patriotism and stability of the polity, we remain open to meaningful and result-oriented dialogue.
