The Workers in Delta state have come out en masse in Asaba, the state capital to stage a protest against the removal of fuel subsidy arguing that the palliatives announced by President Bola Tinubu were not sufficient to address the challenges induced by the decision.
The protesters who were carrying placards with different inscriptions that disapproved the subsidy removal and its adverse effects, marched from the Labour House downtown through NTA road, Okpanam road to the government house, where a position paper of labour was presented to the state governor, Rt Honourable Sheriff Oborevwori who was represented by his Chief Policy Adviser, Rt. Hon Funkekeme Solomon.
While presenting the document at the government house gate, the State Chairman of the NLC, Comrade Lawson Efenudu flanked by his TUC counterpart, Comrade Martin Bolum and the deputy president, RATTAWU, Comrade Innocent Ofuonyeadi accused the Tinubu administration of insensitivity to the plight of Nigerians, especially the workers.
