TUC Issues One Week Ultimatum To FG Over Demands

The Trade Union Congress, TUC, says it has given the federal government and President Bola Tinubu seven days to make definite pronouncements on its demands or risk an industrial action.

TUC President Festus Osifo disclosed this on a monitored programme last night, saying the union told the Labour Minister, Simon Lalong, that the congress was tired of holding endless meetings and wanted definite pronouncements from President Bola Tinubu on its demands.

Osifo said they also discussed issues including wage awards for federal civil servants, tax exemption for some categories of workers, and effective implementation of the palliatives from the Federal Government.

The TUC president also spoke about the purported cold war with the NLC, accusing its president, Joe Ajaero, of making unilateral decisions.

September 20, 2023 Spain Players Agree To End Boycott Ahead Of Nation’s League Games

Spain Players Agree To End Boycott Ahead Of Nation’s League Games

Victor Francos, Spanish Secretary of State for Sports, has announced that most of the Spain women's team have agreed to end their boycott. This decision was reached at 05:00 local time on Wednesday following over seven hours of deliberations.

Two 23 players initially called up for this month's Nations League matches have withdrawn from the squad.

Francos revealed that the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has committed to implementing "immediate and profound changes."

The boycott was initiated in response to the controversial incident where then RFEF president Luis Rubiales kissed forward Jenni Hermoso following Spain's victory over England in the Women's World Cup final last month. Hermoso stated that the kiss was not consensual, leading to Rubiales' resignation and the dismissal of Spain manager Jorge Vilda.

Spain is scheduled to face Sweden on Friday and Switzerland in the Nations League on Tuesday.

Francos, who leads the Spanish government's national sports agency (CSD), stated, "It is encouraging news to confirm that the team will participate in the next two games with assurance."

The Spain players travelled to the training camp in Valencia on Tuesday in preparation for the upcoming matches.
