All Progressives Congress (APC) Professionals Council, a group within the ruling party, has called on the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to always explore the option of dialogue with the government, saying such step remained the most effective tool in reducing the sufferings caused by removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government on.
The National Director General of the Council, Hon. Seyi Bamigbade, gave this counsel in a statement made available to newsmen, calling on the Labour leaders to be patient, just as he expressed hope that the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led government was making frantic efforts to ameliorate suffering of Nigerian masses.
Besides, he said government at all levels was also working to fashion out modalities of reducing the suffering as a result of the fuel hike.
Bamigbade, while making the call, said the removal of fuel subsidies and its effects were just a temporary phase, assuring of a long-term positive impact on the economy and the people of the country.
“On the ongoing nationwide protest by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), we call on the Labour leaders to be patient and halt the planned strike as we are optimistic that the government at all levels is working to fashion out modalities of reducing the sufferings as a result of the fuel hike.
“What the Labour should engage now is dialogue so that all the parties will reach a compromise which we believe will be in the interest of the masses,” he said.
