The Trade Union Congress (TUC) has asked the Federal Government to go beyond promises and get to work to cushion the economic hardships facing Nigerians.
Speaking on a monitored television interview on Friday, the President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) Festus Osifo lamented the hardship in the country and wants actions to combat it.
Osifo stated that it is difficult for Nigerians to get food which he said is the barest minimum for a human, and that they are tired of meetings, summits, and rhetoric.
“As an average Nigerian, one of the things you spend your hard-earned money on is food. The government must do something,” the TUC chief added.
“We’ve had a lot of rhetoric: ‘We’ve declared a state of emergency on food security’. We have had a lot of meetings and summits on issues like this. Nigerians are tired of meetings, summits, and rhetoric. Today, the cost of items in the market has skyrocketed and gone over the roof.”
