So This Happened : TUC rejects FG’s ₦70,000 monthly transport support, demands ₦300,000 minimum wage

The Federal Government has approved ₦70,000 monthly transport support for public servants for six months, alongside plans to settle outstanding allowances. However, the Trade Union Congress (TUC) has rejected the temporary relief, proposing a ₦300,000 minimum monthly salary for the lowest-paid federal worker.

The disagreement has renewed conversations about workers’ purchasing power, rising living costs and the government’s handling of previous wage agreements.
