Speaking in a meeting with members of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, in Abuja on Wednesday, President Tinubu directed NEC  to mobilise various interventions to cushion the hardship faced by the most vulnerable Nigerians.

Besides the Vice-President Kashim Shettima , the NEC comprises 36 state governors, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, and other co-opted government officials.

This was as the Trade Union Congress said it was expecting the Federal Government to provide feedback on its demand for N200,000 naira minimum wage by June 19th.
