Following the elimination of the subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit, the Trade Union Congress (TUC) has requested the Federal Government to expedite its proposal to offer palliatives for Federal Government employees.
The TUC also stated that workers were growing impatient as a result of the difficulties brought on by the loss of subsidies.
This was revealed by Comrade Festus Osifo, the president of the TUC, during a meeting with Simon Lalong, the minister of labour and employment, on Tuesday, September 19, in Abuja.

The gathering was a follow-up to the one that was held on the minister’s initiative to discuss the issues of organised labour on September 4.
Osifo said workers were facing enormous pressures that are making life very difficult, which makes the leadership of TUC have sleepless nights.
The TUC president said, “Congress was hopeful that between the next two weeks, President Bola Tinubu would have done everything possible to arrive at a conclusion which the workers are eager to hear in order to douse the tension and threat for withdrawal of services.”
