The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, has faulted the Trade Union Congress (TUC) for rejecting the Federal Government’s proposed N70,000 monthly transport support for workers, insisting that the union was not part of the negotiations that produced the agreement.
The Trade Union Congress (TUC) formally rejected the Federal Government’s proposed ₦70,000 monthly transport allowance on 28 October 2026, dismissing the six-month temporary relief package as an inadequate response to systemic inflation.
