Labour leader calls for establishment of new refineries

National Vice President of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Emmanuel Ajoku, has called on the federal government to concentrate on building new refineries, maintain the existing ones and show seriousness in its effort to fight corruption rather than remove fuel subsidy.
The labour leader stated this while briefing journalists in Ilorin after the opening of the state secretariat of Amalgamated Union of Public Corporation, Civil Service Technical and Recreation Employees.
Rather than engaging in what he called “fruitless effort” to remove what does not exist, government he stressed should put a stop to the disgraceful process of importing refined fuel from countries that should ordinarily be begging Nigeria for fuel.
The labour leader also lamented what he called the “insincerity of federal government to the plights of the youths” and also the infrastructural decay in the country which has affected every sector.
