The administration of President Bola Tinubu has approved a monthly transport support of ₦70,000 to workers across all levels for six months.
The payment will commence from November 2026, Naija News understands.
The payment is part of efforts by the federal government to cushion the impact of rising living costs in the country.
The government also approved the payment of peculiar allowance arrears, effective from May 1, 2026, in three equal monthly instalments beginning in November.
The approvals were contained in a memorandum of understanding signed at the end of the meeting by the Director-General of Budget, Timi Yakubu; NLC President, Joe Ajaero; the Permanent Secretary, Service Welfare Office, Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Dr Garba Abdul S.U.; and the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Muhammad Maigari Dingyadi.
