The Nigerian Labour Congress has given the Federal Government an ultimatum of Monday, 9 January to either reverse the removal of subsidies on premium motor spirit (petrol) or face a general strike. A communique signed by the National President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Mr. Abdulwaheed Omar, and President-General of the Trade Union Congress, Mr. Peter Esele, said the strike would not be called off until the reversal of the pump price of petrol from N141 to N65.

The labour leaders advised Nigerians to buy food and other necessities in preparation for the strike. The TUC said that all Nigerians should stay at home from Monday unless they intend to participate in the protests.
