NLC Stands Firm on Ultimatum Amid Rising Petrol Prices
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has reaffirmed its two-week ultimatum to the Federal Government, citing the rising petrol prices and the need for fresh wage negotiations. NLC President Joe Ajaero stated that the current minimum wage of N70,000 is inadequate for workers to meet basic needs.
He called for immediate relief on petrol prices and emphasized the urgency of addressing workers' welfare. The Federal Government has responded by urging a balance between workers' welfare and its financial capacity, indicating ongoing tensions between the two parties.
The situation reflects broader economic challenges faced by workers in Nigeria as they struggle with increasing living costs.
