The NLC also reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that government policies contribute to national development. As part of this, the congress is organizing a national dialogue in Ibadan in January 2025 to collaboratively create a new tax law that will be more widely accepted.

The NLC also called for governments to adhere to the 2024 National Minimum Wage Act and engage in wage reviews to improve workers’ welfare in light of recent economic challenges.

In closing, the NLC urged the federal government to respect agreements with trade unions, focus on policies that promote human progress, and cease using violence in dealing with workers. The labor group remains committed to ensuring that government actions lead to a more inclusive, progressive, and prosperous Nigeria.
