Palliative Program: In Jigawa State, the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have jointly refused the N10,000 wage award that the state government had suggested as a stopgap measure after the fuel subsidy was removed.
Following a meeting of the state’s Organized Labor in Dutse, the state capital, the rejection was announced in a press release.
The state chairmen and secretaries of the NLC and TUC signed a joint statement describing the wage award announcement by the state administration as premature, claiming that no agreement had been reached on the subject.
According to the statement, the state government committee and the NLC Salary Negotiation Committee had been in long-term negotiations during which the committee submitted several proposals but got no feedback.
