Comrade Joe Ajaero, the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has said that the claim of President Bola Tinubu that N1 trillion has been saved since his government ceased payment of fuel subsidy is not true.
Recall that in a nationwide broadcast on Monday, Tinubu had claimed that a total of N1 trillion had been saved since subsidy payment was stopped.
But speaking during the ongoing nationwide protest of orgaised labour on Wednesday, Ajaero said the committee that the FG set up to negotiate with Labour revealed that not a single kobo had been saved.
The NLC president spoke when he alongside Festus Osifo of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), led protesters to the national assembly complex on Wednesday.
“Mr President talked about N1trillion saved. The committee where we meet, they told us that no one kobo has been saved so far. Therefore, we have not agreed on what to pay anywhere,” he said.
