The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Kebbi State chapter, has demanded a minimum monthly transport allowance of N70,000 for workers to cushion the impact of rising commuting costs.
The state chairman of the union, Murtala Usman, disclosed this on Monday, saying the union would soon meet with Governor Nasir Idris to present its demand.
Usman said the proposal was agreed upon at a stakeholders’ meeting involving the NLC’s affiliate unions in the state.
He said the proposed allowance should cover all categories of public sector workers, including teachers, local government employees, health workers and other civil servants.
