We reject any discussion or meeting with Govt until the fuel price is reversed –Rivers TUC Posted  Wed Jan 4,2012

The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC)Rivers State would like to dissociate itself from any discussion or meeting with any committee set up by the federal government on the fuel subsidy. This is because this government, going by the way they callously ambushed Nigerians over the fuel subsidy matter , cannot be trusted and we will not be part of any dialogue / discussion with a deceitful and wicked government. We maintain our position that government must first reverse the price of fuel to N65/litre before we can be part

of any discussion or dialogue with the government. We state that even the military governments in all their bravado never treated Nigerians with this level of contempt and disdain. We therefore call on all Nigerians to begin mobilisation for full scale National strike and mass protest. A government that ambushes her citizens deceitfully on 1st January, is an anti-people government and must first apologise to the people and reverse their anti-people actions before they can be taken seriously.
We call on all those appointed to 'dialogue' with labour to honourably decline their appointments and join the Nigerian people in this fight.

Comrade Chika ONUEGBU (TUC State Chairman)
