President Bola Tinubu has approved N35,000 as a provisional wage award for all treasury-paid federal government workers for a period of six months.
Malam Mohammed Idris, Minister of Information and National Orientation, announced this in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.
He said that this followed consultations between the federal government and the leadership of the labour unions at the Presidential Villa.
At the meeting, the Federal Government also pledged its commitment to fast-track the provision of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses to ease public transportation occasioned by subsidy removal on PMS.
The Federal Government also committed to the provision of funds for micro and small-scale enterprises as well as waivers on VAT on diesel for the next six months.
It also announced the payment of N75,000 to 15 million households at N25,000 per month, for a three-month period from October to December.
The Federal Government urged the Labour unions not to embark on strike action as the issues in dispute can only be resolved when workers are at work.
