Senator representing Edo North, Adams Oshiomhole, has said President Bola Tinubu has demonstrated concern for workers’ welfare through the Federal Government’s approval of a ₦70,000 monthly transport allowance.
Oshiomhole made the statement during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, where he defended the Tinubu administration’s performance and urged Nigerians to appreciate its policies.
If a man who was on ₦70,000 now is given ₦70,000 addition that makes it ₦140,000 for him it’s a hundred percent increase and if you know what ₦10,000 means for the real masses, you’ll appreciate that Tinubu has shown that he cares,” he said. The Federal Government approved the monthly ₦70,000 transport intervention for workers across all levels for six months, beginning in November 2026, following a meeting with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on October 27. The agreement also provides for the payment of outstanding peculiar allowances in three equal monthly instalments beginning in November. the Trade Union Congress (TUC) rejected the transport allowance, insisting that workers need a permanent salary increase rather than temporary relief.
