What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Federal Government approved a N70,000 monthly transport intervention for public service workers nationwide for six months, starting in November 2026, to cushion rising living costs. State chapters of organized labour are now urging state governors to adopt this package. The Nigeria Labour Congress in Lagos State is specifically seeking a N100,000 monthly allowance, arguing that Lagos's cost of living justifies a higher amount than the federal benchmark.
