The Trade Union Congress (TUC) has presented the federal government with a list of demands to cushion the effect of petrol subsidy removal on citizens.

The demands include an increase in the minimum wage, tax holiday for certain categories of people as well as reverting to status quo as negotiations continue.

Dele Alake, spokesperson for the government’s delegation to the meeting, told state house correspondents after the meeting that most of the demands are not impracticable and they would be tabled before the president.
