The Trade Union Congress (TUC) has warned the federal government to, with immediate effect, pay all federal civil servants their N35,000 wage award as agreed during a meeting held after the removal of fuel subsidy.
The Congress who gave the warning on Tuesday, specifically said it had it in good authority that workers had only received the one month meant for September, and that only few workers had been paid for the second time.
The President of TUC, Festus Osifo, made this known during a press briefing shortly after the Congress’ emergency National Executive Council meeting.
The 36 state governments across and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) were also warned by Osifo to “tighten” their belt in assuaging the plight of workers occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidy in order to avoid a fresh crisis in the country.
“We want the government to tighten their belts, government at all levels – the federal government, the state and local governments because a situation where they are asking Nigerians to keep tightening their belt and they (government officials) are living in affluence is not acceptable,” he said.
