The Trade Union Congress’s (TUC) president, Festus Osifo, has expressed grave concern over the disparity between the Nigerian government’s call for citizens to make sacrifices and adjust to the country’s economic challenges and the apparent exemption of government officials from such measures.
Osifo stressed the urgent necessity for the political elite to show their willingness to adapt to the changing economic realities that everyday residents are dealing with during an interview on Channels Television’s “Politics Today” on Wednesday night.
He notably mentioned the difficulties brought on by the elimination of fuel subsidies and the worrisome increase in inflation, which as of May 2023 was astounding at 22.41%.
