Fuel Price Hike: Amadi advises NLC on how to deal with FG

Sam Amadi ,the Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts has advised the Nigeria Labour Congress, (NLC) to change their tactics in their dealings with the Federal Government.

According to Amadi, NLC should demand that the budget for the National Assembly and the Presidency should be slashed.

The DOS of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts made this post known via his Twitter handle on Wednesday, asking the NLC to look beyond fuel subsidy and focus on accountability and equality.

TheNewsGuru.com reports that negotiations between the federal government and the NLC on Wednesday in Abuja over the fuel subsidy removal ended in a deadlock.

Findings show  that the new price adjustment of petroleum products currently generating controversies has stimulated the hoarding of fuel by marketers, causing queues in stations.

The development followed the announcement by President Bola Tinubu, Monday, on removal of fuel subsidy.

Meanwhile, Amadi has made a list of items, which he described as negotiating advisory to the NLC.

Below are what Amadi advised NLC to do

1. Look beyond fuel subsidy, look at accountability and equality
