NEW MINIMUM WAGE: NLC DRAGS FG BACK 66,500 NAIRA …says governor’s forum is illegal
The Nigeria Labour Congress has called out the Nigeria Governors’ Forum for insisting they cannot pay more than N22, 500 as the minimum wage. The union subsequently pegged the minimum wage at N66, 500.
The President of the NLC, Mr. Ayuba Wabba, said this at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday.
Wabba said the NGF was not known to law and was thus an illegal body.
He said all governors should return to their respective states and consult with workers rather than hide under the umbrella of the governors’ forum.
