Federal workers across the board will get N25,000 as a palliative to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal, Chief of Staff to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, has announced.
Gbajabiamila made this known after the Federal Government met with organised labour at the Presidential Villa, on Sunday, in Abuja.
“The N25,000 earlier announced by President Tinubu for low-grade federal workers as an intervention is now to cut across all levels of workers,” Gbajabiamila explained.
