The removal of the subsidy, declared by President Bola Tinubu in his inaugural speech, resulted in an increase in petrol prices across the country.

After the announcement, the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) reviewed its pump price for petrol from around N185 to over N500.

In response, the NLC demanded a reversal of the subsidy removal and threatened to protest next Wednesday against the increased petrol prices.

Taking to his Twitter page, Osewa questioned the rationale behind the NLC’s decision to go on strike, as many Nigerians have already accepted the new petrol prices.

Osewa further queried whether the NLC’s strike action is politically motivated and called for an explanation from those who support the NLC’s stance.
