The commission, he promised, would continue to collaborate with NECA and support its activities and programmes geared towards improving the welfare of active employees of the OPS. 

In the same vein, the President of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Joe Ajaero used the occasion to call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to shelve the planned payment of N8, 000 to vulnerable Nigerians.

Ajaero who was represented by Comrade Chris Onyeka sound a note of warning against the unstable price of fuel, while charging FG to halt the robbing of the poor to enrich the rich policy by plowing the entire amount planned for the execution of the N8, 000 into revival of the country’s refineries to save the country from over dependence on importation of petroleum products.

“The proposal to pay N8,000 to each of the so-called 12 million poorest Nigerian households for a period of six months insults our collective intelligence and makes a mockery of our patience and abiding faith in social dialogue which the government may have alluded to albeit pretentiously,” he pointed out.
