The statement reads in parts, “We applaud the resilience, sacrifice, diligence and patriotism of Nigerian workers and celebrate their invaluable contribution to the building and sustenance of our nation’s economic life. Nigerian workers deserve the best quality of life that our nation can offer, which in turn secures our collective aspirations for total and sustainable economic growth and transformation.”
“Delighted the President Bola Tinubu-led administration remains resolute in its commitment to improving the welfare of Nigerian workers. Aside the delisting of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) from the Integrated Personel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS), wage awards for a number of months, negotiations are in top gear to approving a new living minimum wage for Nigerians workers.
