Workers on the platform of the Federal Workers Forum (FWF) have called on President Bola Tinubu to pay their three-month wage award and other arrears.
The workers made this declaration during an online meeting of the forum held on Saturday.
Speaking via a communique issued at the end of the meeting, the workers said they have observed that the Nigerian government is not taking workers seriously.
In the communiqué signed by its National Coordinator, Comrade Andrew Emelieze, the Forum lamented that the prices of goods and services have increased by over 300% in recent times, while the currency has been badly devalued.
Emelieze stated that the federal workers now find it very difficult to feed and survive in the country.
He said that it is unfortunate that the federal government, led by Tinubu, has stopped the payment of the ₦35,000 wage award since February.
He used the opportunity to appeal to the president to pay the three-month wage award and all other arrears.
