the nigeria labour congress has used nigeria’s 66th independence anniversary to renew its demands for measures aimed at easing the financial pressure on workers and households.
the labour union called on the federal government to reduce the cost of petrol, arguing that high fuel prices continue to drive up transportation and other living expenses across the country.
the nlc also demanded the payment of a wage award to workers as a temporary measure to cushion the impact of rising living costs and declining purchasing power.
in addition, the union called for the commencement of discussions on a new national minimum wage for 2027, alongside the implementation of previously agreed tax relief measures.
the nlc said addressing workers’ economic difficulties remained essential to improving living conditions and ensuring that the benefits of nigeria’s development reach ordinary citizens.
