Speaking after a National Administrative Council (NAC) meeting in Abuja, Osifo acknowledged that while some macroeconomic indicators are improving, the government needs to focus more on microeconomic stability. He highlighted that the exchange rate has been a central issue for the TUC, noting that the current official rate of over N1,300 to the Dollar is still considered undervalued.

Osifo commended the Central Bank of Nigeria governor for his efforts but stressed that more can be done to achieve a more appropriate valuation for the Naira. He cited international economic commentators and scholars who believe the Naira is currently trading below its potential strength.

Beyond economic concerns, the TUC president also called on the federal government to decisively address the pervasive insecurity across the country. He urged the provision of necessary funds and equipment to security agencies to combat terrorism and banditry, emphasizing that economic progress is impossible without national stability.

The TUC also addressed labor issues, expecting minimum wage talks to commence by February and urging for interim wage and allowance negotiations. The union expressed support for federal workers' warning strike and plans to address health sector workers' demands.
