Tinubu has shown he cares about workers with ₦70,000 allowance, Oshiomhole says

Senator Adams Oshiomhole said the monthly ₦70,000 transport allowance approved by Bola Tinubu’s government shows concern for workers. The benefit will run for six months from November 2026 following an agreement with the Nigeria Labour Congress, which also provides for outstanding allowances to be paid in three instalments. The Trade Union Congress rejected the temporary relief and called for a permanent salary increase. Oshiomhole also backed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027, while criticizing Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi.
