As
fuel scarcity bites harder across the country, the Nigerian Labour
Congress (NLC) on Wednesday said the current scarcity was deliberate to
create different options such as privatization and promote the interests
of the business community.
It accused the federal government of
using the backdoor to create artificial scarcity in order to throw up
options that fit into its planned privatization strategy, a move the NLC
said was not in the best interest of Nigerians.
NLC President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, in
an exclusive interview explained that the on-going fuel scarcity is a
big disappointment and shame to the government, and failure on its
earlier promises.
Wabba said: “It is deliberate to create

scarcity, so it’s deliberate. They have not done enough to prevent this
scarcity.”
