Marko could have never imagined the terrible fate that awaited him, lurking in the woods, near an abandoned school.

The Trade Union Congress {TUC} and the Nigerian Labour Union Congress {NLC} have called for a special salary for the employees residing in the Federal Capital Territory following the high cost of living in Abuja.The Union Leaders made the call yesterday Monday at the 2017 May Celebration in Abuja,with the Theme: ''Labour Relations in Economic Recession: An Appraisal''.Mr Amodu Olayinka,TUC FCT Chairman,said the Federal Government and the FCT Administration need to urgently create and adopt a special salary structure for workers residing in the capital territory.He said special salary would motivate and increase the morale of workers in Abuja as civil servants are the engine room off any government.Olayinka explained that the prevailing economic recession and high cost of living in the FCT made it imperative for government to create a special salary structure for employees residing in Abuja.According to him,the new injection of luxury buses for transportation by the Federal Capital Territory Administration {FCTA} has reduced the stress and suffering of commuters .''We will appreciate if more buses can be provided and other MDA's to follow the same step to help ease the stress of the common man''.According to him,the creation and completion of more access roads to link up area councils will reduce traffic congestion,stress and fatigue experienced by commuters on daily basis.Also,Mr Amaechi Lawrence,NLC FCT Chairman,said the non-regular payment of pension to retirees was becoming a recurrent issue and urged that remittance should be monitored against sharp practice of with-holding some percentage of pensions of retired civil servants.Lawrence said delay in staff promotion was demoralising and appealed to MDA's to conduct promotion and release the result on time to boost the morale of workers and lay to rest stagnation in the service.He,however,commended the Federal Government on its efforts towards economic revival with the launch of New Economic Reform Plan.
