Hardship: TUC demands decent jobs, fair distribution of wealth

The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) is demanding that the Federal Government, employers, and other stakeholders implement reforms to foster decent employment opportunities and ensure a more equitable distribution of Nigeria's wealth. The call was made by TUC Secretary-General Nuhu Toro during the closing ceremony of the 2026 Petroleum conference.

Toro stressed the importance of creating jobs that offer fair wages, safe working conditions, and opportunities for growth. He highlighted that a fairer distribution of wealth is crucial for national development and social stability.

The union's stance underscores a broader concern about economic hardship and inequality in Nigeria. The TUC aims to advocate for policies that protect workers' rights and promote inclusive economic growth, ensuring that the benefits of the nation's resources are shared more broadly among its citizens.
