The workers’ body further gave President Bola Tinubu a 30-day ultimatum to tackle insecurity, kidnappings, killings and economic hardship facing Nigerians.
The group said an online poll of its members overwhelmingly backed immediate strike action to address the current hardship and insecurity crisis.
Mr Emelieze said, “Decentralising refining will promote healthy competition among states and ultimately reduce the pump price of petrol.”
The group also appealed to the federal government to act decisively to avert further loss of lives and restore normal health services.
Mr Etuk said that though a circular was passed to MDAs, they refused to comply.
Mr Emelieze said the workers embarked on an indefinite national protest because they could no longer cope with the hardship they are facing.
The TUC national president, Mohammed Ibrahim, said the federal government must fulfil its obligations to pay the N35,000.
