• • Leadership Critique: The forum, represented by National Coordinator Mr. Emelieze and Secretary Mr. Ayo Ogundele, has criticized the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) for failing to provide adequate leadership regarding these worker concerns.

  • Wage Implementation Issues: The group reports that an online poll of members strongly supports a strike. They allege the July 2024 minimum wage adjustment provided only a taxable ₦40,000 uniform increase, which they claim delivered no meaningful benefit.

  • Broken Promises: Workers claim that a 40% peculiar allowance promised by the Head of the Civil Service, Didi Walson-Jack, for May 1, 2026, was subsequently rejected by the Office of the Accountant-General. Furthermore, they report that May 2026 salaries did not include the wage awards promised by the Minister of Finance, and consequential adjustments remain unpaid.

  • Outstanding Entitlements: The forum highlighted long-standing arrears, including two months of wage awards from July 2024, unpaid promotion arrears, and outstanding Duty Tour Allowance claims.

  • Rejection of Proposals: The group has rejected a ₦100,000 minimum wage proposal backed by the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, labeling it a “Greek gift” aimed at suppressing earnings, and instead is demanding a living wage and a cost-of-living allowance.

  • Insecurity Concerns: Beyond economic issues, the forum expressed alarm over the rise in kidnappings and violent attacks, specifically citing recent incidents in Oyo and Borno states.

  • Government Demands: The forum has urged the NLC and TUC to engage the government on these hardships and has called on the government to secure the release of all hostages, including teachers and schoolchildren. Additionally, the group suggested that the National Assembly consider legislation regarding civilian firearm ownership and that a sovereign national conference be convened to address the nation’s challenges.
