The grievances over the removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government may have assumed a new dimension, as the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria has demanded an increase in the national minimum wage from N30,000 to N200,000.
DAILY POST gathered that all the demands raised by TUC have already been forwarded to the government at Sunday’s meeting that was held at the Presidential Villa.
A list of other demands is contained in a joint statement signed by Comrade Festus Osifo, President TUC and Comrade Nuhu Abba Toro, Secretary General, respectively, which was also made available to our reporter on Monday.
TUC also wants the government to revert to the old fuel pump prices of N195 per litre while negotiations continue.
