The Presidency has dismissed claims by the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Comrade Joe Ajaero, that President Bola Tinubu betrayed labour leaders by increasing the petrol pump price, contrary to the understanding reached during the minimum wage meeting with him.
The NLC President had, on Tuesday night, accused President Tinubu of betraying the Organized Labour, claiming that labour accepted the N70,000 national minimum wage instead of its demand of N250,000, based on an understanding that the pump price of PMS would not be increased.
However, reacting to Ajaeros allegation, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Print Media, Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, on his verified X handle, @Abdulfagge, said he was in the last two meetings where President Tinubu met with labour leaders.
He noted that there was none where an offer was made in exchange of fuel price hike.
