FG Secures Court Ruling Stopping NLC From Embarking On Strike Over Fuel Subsidy Removal

An interim order to stop the Nigeria Labour Congress NLC, from embarking on an indefinite strike on Wednesday, June 7, over the fuel subsidy removal has been secured by the federal government.

Last week the Labour organization announced it was going on strike over the sudden removal of petrol subsidy.

The Labour union argues that the Federal government ought to have put in place palliatives that will help the Nigerian masses cushion the economic effect of the subsidy removal.

The Federal government approached the Federal High court challenging the decision of the union to go on strike.

In a ruling delivered on Monday, Justice O.Y Anuwe gave an interim injunction restraining the NLC and the Trade Union Congress TUC from going on strike until the determination of the motion on notice.

The judge then adjourned the matter for further hearing till 19 June.

With the level of engagement from the government side, coupled with some of the indicators we have seen so far, and with our visit to the Villa to see Mr President who gave assurances that he is going to look into our issues with the mindset of resolving them, we brought the matter to the Congress.

“With all other assessments that we have made so far, and with Mr. President’s pleas, the Congress now decided that a 21-day timeline should be given to the government to activate and release some of the circulars, and implement some of those items that we have taken to the government.

“On the strength of that, the Congress now said the strike should be suspended with effects from tomorrow when the Congresses in other branches will be called.”

You Bought Car To Oppress But Your Family Is Suffering

Controversial street artist, Portable Omolalomi has taken a swipe at his colleague, Zinoleesky, who recently acquired a Ferrari 458 Italia.

According to Portable, Zino bought the car to oppress people while his family members are reportedly suffering.

It would be recalled that amidst the heated beef between Zinoleesky and Seyi Vibez, the former splashed millions of naira on a new car. This sparked a series of reactions; one of which came from Lil Smart who lambasted the singer for showing off ‘another daddy’s car.’

Portable, however, joined the train of those shading the singer as he stated in a recent video where he claimed that the Zino’s family are dwelling in poverty while he is online flaunting vehicles.

“You buy car dey opress, have you taken care of your home? You get car but your family dey suffer. You’re enjoying foreign life in local. These kids are local without a level. they don’t know the law; they’ve forgotten home.

He used his last card to buy car and when he cant afford to fuel the car, he’d trek,” he stated.

In the caption of the video, Ika of Africa noted;

“Tomorrow Na Market Day Make He No Be Like Say I No Do Woto Woto 😂 IKA Talk Ika Understand 👌,”
 he wrote.

The video has since sparked mixed reactions on social media.
