The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) has expressed disappointment with the Ministry of Labor and Employment over its repeated promises to fulfil the union’s demands soon.
The TUC President, Festus Osifo, during a televised interview argued that the federal government is yet to take reasonable action on the demands of the union, making it difficult for the union to rely on the promises of the federal government
According to Osifo, the union is closely monitoring the provision and distribution of palliatives in different states and the implementation of measures to permanently alleviate the suffering of the people.
The union demands include wage awards for federal civil servants, tax exemption for some categories of workers, as well as setting up structures for the effective implementation of the palliatives from the Federal Government.
