Former labour leaders step in after NLC and TUC presidents clash over N70,000 allowance
Former leaders of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trades Union Congress have stepped in to mediate a disagreement between the current presidents of the two unions.
According to former NLC President Ayuba Wabba, the intervention follows public arguments between the leaders regarding a seventy thousand naira transport allowance.
Veteran unionists, including Hassan Sunmonu and Peter Esele, have held separate discussions with the current presidents to halt further public hostilities. The elders stated that the conflict is an internal matter that should be resolved through dialogue.
The dispute arose after NLC President Joe Ajaero reached an agreement with the federal government on the allowance without the involvement of TUC President Festus Osifo. The elders plan to hold a formal reconciliatory meeting to settle the matter and prevent future occurrences.
