Minister of Labour, Nkiruka Onyejeocha, has said that the government has made substantial progress, completing about 90% of agreements with labour unions. She clarified that recent protests were not due to a lack of commitment from the government but rather concerns about food inflation, emphasizing the administration’s focus on food security and economic prosperity. Onyejeocha urged patience, citing ongoing efforts and imminent harvests. Regarding specific commitments like high-capacity CNG buses for mass transit, she noted funds had been allocated, albeit facing logistical challenges beyond immediate control.

Notably, agreements encompass wage increases, minimum wage committee formation, and VAT suspension on diesel.
