N70,000 Transport Intervention: Three Unions Disown JNPSNC and Back TUC

Three Nigerian public service unions—SSASCGOC, SSAUTHRIAI and NUAHP—disowned a statement issued in the name of the JNPSNC on October 30, 2026, saying they had not been consulted or invited to the discussions. They also objected to the exclusion of the council’s vice chairman, representing ASCSN, and said no one could speak for workers without a mandate. Rejecting the N70,000 intervention as inadequate amid rising living costs, the unions said they support the TUC. They also criticized a flat N40,000 salary addition instead of a 133% adjustment starting with the lowest-paid worker, and called for transparency and a review.
