NLC PMS HARAKIRI: THE FUTILITY OF STRIKE AND THE NONCONFORMIST CITIZENRY.
The miscalculation of the Nigerian Labour Congress over the psycho-political mood of Nigerians to embark on an ill advised civil disobedience misadventure in the forms of strike and protest to express their disenchantment to government policy on petroleum product price hike has shown vividly that the populace are more interested in the stability of the polity rather than the disequilibrium sought by the Nigerian Labour Congress.
It has become obvious to the populace and specifically workers in Nigeria that their interest is better served with the present government rather than pandering to the shenanigans of NLC President, Ayuba Wabba with is phanthom tales of woes and tribulations.
I heard that he was arm-twisting the government to canceled the loan granted to the Nigerian Labour Congress before he could call off the strike/protest???????? Let us hope this is not true or else I will petition @Efccnigeria ahahahahhaha laugh.
The time to use strikes and protests as an instrumentarium to influence government policies and decisions is past, old school dictionary of labour unions. All over the world a post globalization methodology of negotiation and persuasion are now the acceptable norm, not unnecessarily creating disruptions and economic dislocation in an already comatose economic stratosphere. NLC President, Ayuba Wabba needs some kind of re-education. Please, send him on a refresher course to the Institute for Labour Studies.
I am convinced that the whole confrontational posturing of NLC President, Ayuba Wabba led faction would fizzle out soonest when faced with superior argumentation in the interest of the nation.
PRICE FIXING AND FOREX SCARCITY
I heard something through the grapevine that petroleum product (PMS) importers were complaining about scarcity of forex in the secondary market; My first reaction was what had taken over their soul that they were now vomiting like a spoiled child suffering from overindulgence.
The pro-business argument from the inception of the petroleum product (PMS) debate was that government must not be involved in businesses that the private sector can do efficiently and that government needs only to provide the enabling environment for businesses to thrive, the new policy has fullfiled that aspiration to a comfortable extent.
Let them source anywhere, wherever, anyhow in compliance with the extant laws for their forex since the profits come to them at the end of the journey, that is what free market is all about let us see the magic of Laissez-faire at work free from government interference.
we must not/never grant forex to businesses at a lower rate than the secondary market rate. Moreover, there is no forex to give out let competition and business savviness or acumen of those importers of petroleum product (PMS) weed out the pretenders or quasi businesses in the industry.
We must never go back to subsidization of forex either direct or indirect. However, government must stop pegging the price of petroleum product (PMS) let the market forces of demand and supply moderate the actual price to the consumer and the role of government is to monitor all transactions to prevent cabalism, price fixing and pseudo-competition.
