NLC Demands New Minimum Wage in 2026 Amid Escalating Inflation

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is calling for a new minimum wage in 2026, citing escalating inflation and increased suffering among workers. NLC President Joe Ajaero emphasized the need for salaries to reflect a living wage, not just for survival.

Despite economic challenges in 2025, Ajaero remains committed to pursuing social justice and equitable wealth distribution. He cautioned against political manipulation and empty promises, urging workers to remain united.

Ajaero also highlighted the importance of peace, safety, and national stability. The NLC is prepared to mobilize workers to hold the government accountable.
