Flanked by the President of the TUC, Comrade Festus Usifo, and other representatives of Nigerian workers, who attended the meeting, Ajaero said the unions agreed to the offer because of other incentives attached.

He said another reason for accepting the offer is that President Tinubu promised a review every three years, which was against what was obtained in the past.
