The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) has said the recent Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) pump price increase will cause social unrest in Nigeria.

This was as TUC kicked against the increase in the pump price of petroleum, warning that it would worsen poverty among workers.

The union disclosed this in a statement signed by its president, Festus Osifo on Wednesday.

Recall that the pump price of petrol was increased to N897 and N855 per liter on Tuesday from N617.

Reacting to the increase, TUC asked the Nigerian government to “immediately rescind these decisions, promote policies that will strengthen the naira, and take decisive steps to alleviate the suffering of Nigerians.”
