Workers Allege Betrayal by Federal Government Over N35,000 Wage Award

The Federal Workers Forum (FWF) has raised an alarm that the N35,000 wage award given to workers by the Federal Government to cushion the effects of the economic crisis caused by the fuel subsidy removal has been stopped.

The workers, today, alleged that the Federal Government paid only one month out of the six months promised to the workers.

National Coordinator of FWF, Comrade Andrew Emelieze, in a statement made available to newsmen noted that the workers are passing through tortuous moments since the removal of fuel subsidy.

He noted that minimum wage has remained at N30,000 monthly while prices continue to soar and a bag of rice now is above N60,000.F
