The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has urged President BOLA TINUBU to review some of the policies of his government to reduce the hardship in the country.

President of the NLC, JOE AJAERO said this at a Dialogue on Economic Reforms held at the Nigeria Airforce Conference Center, Abuja.

The NLC President said that any reform of the government that does not deliberately reduce the cost of governance in Nigeria by at least 50 per cent was deceptive. 

According to the Labour Union, the removal of petrol subsidy, naira devaluation and other economic decisions of the government had contributed to inflation, reduced purchasing power, and led to job losses.

It also identified the expansion of foreign exchange allocation and the cash crunch as some of the government policies that posed challenges for citizens.

The organisation said a holistic overhaul of these policies was essential to make them more effective and sustainable.
