NEC Establishes Ad Hoc Committee to Address Nigerian Workers' Hardship After Fuel Subsidy Removal
In response to the challenges faced by Nigerian workers due to the removal of fuel subsidy, the National Economic Council (NEC) has taken action by setting up an ad hoc committee. The committee's primary objective is to find effective measures to alleviate the suffering experienced by workers across the country.

According to a statement from the Office of the Vice President, the council has granted the committee a two-week timeframe to explore two proposed scenarios put forth by the National Salaries Wages and Income Commission (NSWIC). The statement highlights that this decision was made during the inaugural NEC meeting chaired by Vice-President Kashim Shettima, following its establishment by President Bola Tinubu.

Mr. Ekpo Nta, the Chairman of NSWIC, has recommended two key measures to address the situation. Firstly, he suggests reviewing the national minimum wage to ensure it reflects the current economic realities. Additionally, he proposes the creation of a cost of living adjustment allowance, amounting to N702.9bn, to mitigate the adverse effects of the subsidy removal on workers.

During the meeting, the NEC also provided an update on the nation's financial accounts. It was reported that the Excess Crude Account stands at $473,754.56, the Stabilisation Account at N26.6bn, and the Natural Resources Fund at N96.9bn.
