Nigeria’s Trade Union Congress (TUC) calls on the Federal Government to increase the salaries of federal workers immediately, saying it should not wait for the next review of the national minimum wage. TUC President Festus Osifo makes the request in Abuja after a meeting of the union’s National Administrative Executive Council.
The union argues that higher pay can be delivered through government decisions without changing the minimum-wage process. Vanguard reports the TUC says the government can increase salaries within a range of N200,000 to N400,000. The Daily Post Nigeria focuses on the core demand for an immediate salary rise, highlighting the union’s position that workers’ compensation should be addressed now rather than deferred to future reviews.
