The National President, Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees, Ambali Olatunji, on Monday, demanded an upward review of workers’ salaries by three hundred percent to cushion the effects of fuel subsidy removal.
Olatunji also canvassed that a single institution be made to fix the salaries of workers and those of political office-holders to ensure parity since everybody patronises the same market in the country.
The labour leader, who spoke in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, during the inauguration of NULGE Hotels and Suites, also called for the immediate implementation of the Orosanye Report to reduce the cost of governance, which, he lamented, was too high.
The labour leader further lamented that it was shocking that after one month of subsidy removal, nothing has been done by the Federal Government to cushion the effect on the citizens.
