POLITICS: LABOUR PARTY WARNS PRESIDENT JONATHAN ON INTENDED HIKE IN PRICE OF FUEL

The organised Labour, civil rights groups and opposition parties on Wednesday 20th March,2013  warned President Goodluck Jonathan against another fuel  price hike.

The groups, which reacted to Jonathan’s statement on Tuesday that fuel price would go up, said that the President should not court trouble.
The Federal Government had in January 2012 increased the petrol price from N65 per liter to N141 per litre.

But following protests in parts of the country, the fuel price was reduced to N97 per litre.
On Tuesday, during Nigeria Summit in Lagos however, Jonathan said the Federal Government would still remove fuel subsidy.
