Total power outage looms in Nigeria as National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) yesterday directed its members to withdraw their services nationwide over the Federal Government’s sudden removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) otherwise called petrol or fuel. President Bola Tinubu, in his inaugural speech, said that the petrol subsidy was gone. Miffed by the development, especially non-consultation, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) issued a notice that its members and affiliates should embark on a nationwide strike from Wednesday, if the NNPCL refused to reverse the new price template.
