Fed Govt warned against subsidy removal

Members of the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT) have cautioned the Federal Government against the planned removal of subsidy from Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly called petrol, from next year.

NAAT, in a communiqué by its President, Ibeji Nwokoma, yesterday in Owerri, the Imo State capital, after the 48th regular meeting of the National Executive Council (NEC) of the union, said subsidy removal “at this time will further worsen the economy and impoverish the masses.”

On non-payment of Earned Allowances (EA) arrears, the union urged the Federal Government to use the 2009 FG/Universities based unions agreement in sharing of the EA arrears.

It called for the implementation of the allowances, as contained in the agreement.

NAAT enjoined the Federal Government and its relevant agencies responsible for the payment of the minimum wage arrears to expedite action and pay, to avert another strike.
