Nigeria unions join fuel strike |
| Home | (BBC News) - Nigeria's trade union federation is to join a strike over recent rises in petrol prices and value-added tax. "We have decided to go on an indefinite strike beginning on Wednesday," trade union leader Nuhu Toro told the BBC. The trade unions had warned the new government of President Umaru Yar'Adua to reverse the increases two weeks ago or face a national strike. |
