President Bola Tinubu has approved a N35,000 provisional wage award for all treasury-paid federal government workers for six months.
This development followed consultations with the Federal Government delegation that met with the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) on Sunday.
FG pledged its commitment to fast-track the provision of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses to ease public transportation difficulties associated with the removal of fuel subsidy in a meeting with the Labour Union.
