The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC
has assured Nigerians Workers of the payment of the reviewed minimum wage
before the end of 2018.
Peter Ozo-Esan, General
Secretary, Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Tuesday, assured Nigerians that the
new minimum wage will be implemented in September.
Ozo-Esan made this assurance in
an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.
He blamed the Sallah break for
the delay, adding that the tripartite committee involved with the review of the
wage will conclude its work on Sept. 4th and 5th.
According to him, “We believe
that the initial expectation that by September a new minimum wage should come
on board, we think that the government still should be able to deliver that to
Nigerians.
“Nigerian workers will continue
to demand that from the government and as soon as this report is submitted,
government should do the needful before the National Assembly because that is
the process.
“We expect that the National
Assembly will play its part in speedily considering the bill that will be
placed before it and do everything possible for Nigerian workers to have a new
minimum wage.’’
