President Bola Tinubu has approved a monthly transport allowance of ₦70,000 for public service workers across all levels of government for six months, following renewed pressure from the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) over rising fuel prices and demands for a review of the national minimum wage.
The approval came after a meeting between the Minister of Labour and Employment, Muhammad Maigari Dingyadi, and NLC leaders led by its president, Joe Ajaero, on Tuesday, October 27, as the four-day deadline issued by the labour union to the Federal Government expired.
According to the Federal Government, the transport support will begin in November 2026 and is intended to ease the financial burden on workers amid rising living costs.
