Comrades of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC in Abuja are putting up a tough struggle against the Federal Government over the current removal of fuel subsidy and price hike which they termed as unprecedented.

The name change on the banner

NLC officials in Abuja have changed the name of the ruling party, All Progressives Congress, APC to 'All Promises Cancelled'.

This new full meaning coincides with the insinuation that the party that promised CHANGE has made a U-turn in all its campaign promises ranging from social security for unemployed youths, reduction in fuel price, strengthening of the naira, provision of jobs and addressing several other issues which have inflicted untold hardships on the citizenry.

The strike continues in full strength while reports have it that the Federal Government is prepared to reopen talks with labour leaders to end the indefinite industrial strike action.
