 Legislative Governor Babaji De Sao Lu has appealed to the 900 Labour Congress NLC to shelf its planned nationwide strike protest against fuel subsidy removal, saying governors are already discussing ways to mitigate the effects. Sao Lu made the appeal on Sunday while speaking with Newsman shortly after a special Thanksgiving service at the Cathedral Church of Christ in Marina Lagos. The Thanksgiving service marked the end of activities to mark the governor's second term inauguration. He was accompanied by his wife Dr Ibi Joke Sao Lu, Deputy Governor of Bafemi-Hamsat and wife Oluremi-Hamsat. The governor stressed that rather than being confrontational, Labour unions and Nigerians should support President Bola Tinibu in the quest to take Nigeria out of the woods, saying this is not the time to go on strike. According to him, going on strike would neither address nor resolve any issue. We want to also build a better inclusive sense of governance in which not only will we be doing a lot of hard infrastructure, but we also want to do a lot of soft infrastructure, things that will touch the life of our people specifically. So I want to plead with the Nigerian Labour Congress NLC and it shouldn't turn into a political thing because we are beginning to see that and the demand or the leadership should indeed they should know that they are they are they are leading a pack of people and they need to restrain themselves. Let us be patient, let us walk around. NNPC have said to us they're more than enough petrol to go round. Right so there's no need for us to begin to hit up the policy. Any strike will not solve anything, it will certainly will not be the issue. The point will be you know what how are we going to ensure that there's a turnaround in our economy that we can leave. You know I have mentioned something around you know a better ways. We have started at niggas where price to ourselves that we started in in generally so other parts of the country can also do the same. Right and it's not need for us to begin to get political, it's governance now and people just want to see purposeful governance. So let the man settle in. Mr President will settle in and he has said he's going to turn for us you know a team that will take the country.
