The National President of of the Nigerian Labour Congress
(NLC), Comrade Joe Ajaero, has expressed confidence that the negotiation of a
new minimum wage between the Federal Government and the organized labour will
be finalised before March this year.
Speaking in a telephone interview with newsmen on Thursday,
Ajaero said, “The Federal Government had through a letter asked the organized
labour to release our names to the new minimum wage committee to be
constituted.
“Since last year, the list was submitted to the government
and it is only when the committee is constituted that we now go into
negotiation with the government as a union to agree on it.
“The existing minimum wage will be expiring by March this
year, so it is hoped we may conclude the negotiation for a new minimum wage
before March.”
Speaking on the wage award by the Federal Government to
Nigerian workforce, he stated that only one month was paid, saying, “All should
be released to the workers by the end of this year January.”
