The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has faulted claims by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that the federal government was able to save over a trillion naira in two months that would have been dissipated on oil subsidy.
Tinubu had said so in his last nationwide broadcast ahead of the organised labour’s protest.
The president’s declaration, NLC President, Joe Ajaero, said was contradicted by members of the committee set up by Tinubu himself.
Ajaero disclosed this on Wednesday at the National Assembly during the protest when the Senate Chief Whip, Ali Ndume addressed the protesters.
“Mr President talked about N1trn saved. The committee when we met told us that no one kobo has been saved so far. Therefore, we have not agreed on what to pay anywhere,” the NLC president said.
