We’ll Direct Workers To Stop Going To Work Over Fuel Scarcity – TUC

The Trade Union Congress (TUC) has threatened it would soon direct workers in statutory corporations and government-owned companies to stop going to work if the challenge of fuel scarcity across the country persists for the next few days.

The Congress also demanded that President Muhammadu Buhari swing into action by identifying and punishing those who caused the scarcity that has brought untold hardship upon Nigerians.

National Treasurer of TUC, Mohammad Yunusa, stated these during an interview in Abuja at the weekend on the sideline of the delegate conference of the Senior Staff Association of Statutory Corporations and Government-Owned Companies (SSASCGOC).

Yunusa, who was also the immediate past President-General of SSASCGOC, explained that members of his association have already been directed to stay at their respective homes pending when there will be a regular supply of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) popularly called petrol.

He said: ”The union’s position is very clear. Those who caused this scarcity should be identified and punished very well. The position of SSASCGOC also is that, you know we are affiliated to TUC, and we have made it known to TUC that let the workers stop going to work until there is enough fuel to take them to work.
