The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has asked the Federal Government to “urgently” review workers’ salaries in the new year following the wave of “escalating inflation and suffering” sweeping across the country.
In his New Year’s address to workers on Wednesday, the President of NLC, Comrade Joe Ajaero, noted that workers’ salaries should be a “living wage”, rather than for mere “survival”.
He acknowledged that the year 2025 was indeed challenging for Nigerian workers.
Ajaero, however, said the challenges did not deter the group from pushing for justice for workers.
He added that the new year ushers in hope for workers.
He urged workers to be vigilant and patriotic in 2026, adding that the NLC will not fail to organize and mobilise to hold government accountable.
According to him, security should remain a top priority for every state to guarantee the safety of lives and property.
He called for unity among workers in the new year.
