He praised the Federal Government’s efforts in addressing Nigeria’s economic problems, praising the creation of CNG conversion centers, the National Minimum Wage committee, and the payment of the N35,000 wage award.
The recent engagement with state governors to address rising living costs and insecurity, he added, demonstrated the government’s determination to hold talks and address concerns.
According to the statement, “no government on this earth can meet the demands of the NLC in 14 days,” so the union should put an end to the demonstrations and carry on with talks.

They urged the commercial sector, philanthropists, political office holders, and subnational governments to help lessen the suffering of the populace.
