The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President, Joe Ajaero, has criticized the Trade Union Congress (TUC)'s opposition to the Federal Government's proposed ₦70,000 transport allowance for workers. Ajaero stated that the NLC was not involved in negotiations with the government and that the TUC should not oppose an arrangement it did not negotiate.
He added that the disagreement began when the TUC president claimed that the minimum wage would be due for negotiation in August 2027, which the NLC disagreed with as it was inconsistent with the law.
