The Trade Union Congress (TUC) have asked President Tinubu to increase the minimum wage from 30,000 naira to 200,000 naira due to the effects of the subsidy removal.

This was part of the demands put forward by the TUC and NLC in a signed document after the joint meeting with the FG on Monday.

The labour leader added, "Tax holiday for employees both in government and private sector that earn less than N200,000 or 500USD monthly whichever is higher.

PMS allowance to be introduced for those earning between N200,000 to N500,000 or 500USD to 1,200USD whichever is higher"

"Setting up of intervention fund where the government will be paying N10 per liter on all locally consumed PMS. The primary purpose of this fund is to solve perennial and protracted national issues in education, health and housing.

A governance structure that will include labour, civil society and government will be put in place to manage the implementation.

Federal government should provide mass transit vehicles for all categories of the populace" he added.
