Nigeria's Minister of Labour and Employment, Simon Lalong, has announced that the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) will soon receive a wage award, with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu potentially revealing it next week. The NLC has demanded tax exemptions, allowances, Compressed Natural Gas buses, modalities for SMEs, and a reversal of anti-poor policies. The government has approved N5 billion each for 36 states to cushion the pain of subsidy removal.
