Middle East crisis: NLC demands COLA, wage award, tax relief

The Nigeria Labour Congress has asked the Federal Government to introduce immediate measures such as cost of living allowance, wage awards and tax relief to cushion the impact of the ongoing Middle East crisis on Nigerian workers.The union said rising global tensions have worsened fuel prices, transport costs and inflation, deepening hardship for salaries that were already inadequate. NLC President Joe Ajaero noted that workers were struggling even before the latest spike in energy costs and warned that many households can no longer cope without urgent support.He explained that the current N70,000 minimum wage has been overtaken by inflation and does not reflect the real cost of food, transport, housing and basic services. The NLC is therefore pushing for a cost of living allowance to be paid on top of existing wages so that workers can absorb sudden price shocks.Ajaero […]

Kaduna Tertiary Institution Workers Suspend Month-Long Strike

Striking workers at Kaduna State-owned tertiary institutions have suspended their month-long industrial action after Governor Uba Sani approved a new salary structure. The agreement was reached during a meeting between the governor and the Joint Union of Tertiary Institutions (JUTIKS), facilitated by the state's chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC). The key outcome is the approval and immediate implementation of 70% of the 2024 CONPCASS/CONTEDISS salary structure for both academic and non-academic staff. The government also approved a 65-year retirement age for staff. The unions, which began the strike on September 30th, have expressed appreciation for the governor's "listening leadership" and commitment to workers' welfare. With this development, academic activities are expected to resume in the affected institutions.

NLC Demands Urgent Minimum Wage Review, Says ₦70,000 Unsustainable

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and federal civil servants have called on the Federal Government to urgently review the national minimum wage, insisting that the current ₦70,000 is no longer realistic in the face of rising inflation and economic hardship. President Bola Tinubu had signed the new National Minimum Wage Bill into law in July 2024, raising the wage from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000 across the public and private sectors. But workers now argue that the fast-rising cost of living has eroded its value. Recent wage increases in several states have intensified pressure on the federal government. Imo State raised its minimum wage to ₦104,000 in August 2025, while Lagos and Rivers pegged theirs at ₦85,000, with Lagos promising a further rise to ₦100,000 in 2025. Other states like Bayelsa, Niger, Enugu, and Akwa Ibom approved ₦80,000; Ogun and Delta ₦77,000; […]

The Lagos State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has appealed to Dangote Industries Limited to allow its employees to join labour unions, saying it is key to safeguarding their rights and improving workplace conditions. The appeal was made on Tuesday by the Lagos NLC Chairperson, Mrs. Funmi Sesi, during a tour of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Dangote Fertiliser Plant by officials of the union and members of the Labour Writers Association of Nigeria.

Sesi also called on the company to hire more people from its host communities, noting that labour law recommends that 70% of […]
