On Sunday morning, Mr. Tinubu had initially announced a monthly payment of N25,000 as an allowance for junior civil servants, aiming to alleviate the impact of the petrol subsidy removal. He stated that this allowance would be disbursed over six months.

Following this announcement, a government delegation engaged in discussions with leaders of labor unions, resulting in an agreement that all civil servants should benefit from the allowance.

Late on Sunday night, Mr. Idris issued a statement indicating that the monthly allowance has now been raised to N35,000, following further consultations with the Federal Government delegation that met with the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) earlier that Sunday.

The labor unions are expected to announce today whether they will proceed with the strike or suspend it.
