Occupy Nigeria - Day 2 Of Strike

Today marks the second day of the strike and Mr. President is still insiting on maintaining the removal of fuel subsidy.

Jonathan, speaking on the Nigerian Television Authority after the first day of the mass action that grounded economic and social activities in most parts of the country, said, “The regime of subsidy on petrol has come to an end. This is a bold stance I have taken and the international community has applauded me while some misinformed Nigerians are playing politics with it. I will not back down, I will not resign, and nothing will happen.”

But most Nigerians, backed by both the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress, have vowed to see to the reversal of the price of petrol and instill accountability and transparency in government.
