The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Ebonyi State, alongside academics, lawyers, and civil society actors, has condemned the proposed salary increment for political officeholders, describing it as unjustifiable amid worsening economic hardship.
Speaking in Abakaliki on Sunday, the NLC chairman in the state, Egwu Oguguo, urged the Federal Government and the National Assembly to shelve the plan and focus instead on improving the welfare of ordinary Nigerians.
