FG workers to receive N35,000 wage award for six months

Malam Mohammed Idris, the country’s Minister of Information and National Orientation, said as much in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.

The Minister claims that the Federal Government pledged during the meeting with labor unions that it would expedite the introduction of compressed natural gas (CNG) buses to ease public transportation, which the FG claims has been made necessary by the recent removal of PMS subsidy.

The Minister added that the Tinubu-led administration has decided to pay N75,000 to 15 million households at a rate of N25,000 per month, for a three-month period from October to December.

The Minister also stated that the Federal Government is committed to providing funds for micro and small-scale enterprises as well as waivers on VAT on diesel.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the following decisions made at the meeting stand out:

The Federal Government urged the Labour unions not to embark on strike action as the issues in dispute can only be resolved when workers are at work.

“Labour Unions made case for higher wage award.

“A sub-committee will be constituted to work out the details of implementation of all items regarding government interventions to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal.

“The lingering matter of Road Transport Employees Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) and National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Lagos State will be addressed urgently.

“NLC and TUC will consider the offers by the Federal Government with a view to suspending the planned strike to allow for further consultations on the implementation of the agreed resolutions.”

While the meeting was being presided over by the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, Governors Abdulrazak Abdulrahman of Kwara, Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), and Dapo Abiodun of Ogun participated virtually, so did Ministers of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Wale Edun, Minister of Information and National Orientation Mohammed Idris, Minister of Labor and Employment Simon Lalong, and Minister of State for Labour Nke

Betta Edu, the minister of humanitarian affairs and poverty alleviation, Doris Uzoka-Anite, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, the head of the federation’s service, and Malam Nuhu Ribadu, the national security adviser (NSA), were also there.

The NLC President, Joe Ajaero, the TUC Deputy President, Dr. Tommy Okon, the NLC General Secretary, Emma Ugboaja, and the TUC General Secretary, Nuhu Toro headed the labor delegation.

The aforementioned resolutions were passed amid two major national events: the 63rd anniversary of Nigeria’s independence, which provided a platform for people and organizations to assess the performance of various sectors in the nation; and the ongoing dispute between the NLC and the FG, as a result of which the former has threatened to launch an aggressive nationwide strike action.

The pastor explained in an Instagram video that, despite what is commonly believed, men need women by their sides in addition to their marriages.
He disclosed the four key reasons for side chicks’ importance.

The first explanation offered by the pastor was stupidity. He said that having side chicks is the finest way for a man to look dumb.

In response to a question about why guys are still searching for Coke after they have one, he pointed out that Coke in a bottle, can, or plastic is still Coke.

He identified premature death as the second reason why males require a side chick.

According to the preacher, a guy who wishes to pass away too soon must overwork his heart and stuff his body with unnecessary items.

He mentioned shame and embarrassment as additional reasons. A man who enjoys dishonor and shame, according to him, needs a side chick because that’s what he will eventually get.

According to him, a man should only require a side chick if he enjoys difficulty and turmoil.
