    Minimum Wage: Labour Rules Out Strike Action On Tuesday, Awaits Tinubuโ€™s Nod

    The Nigeria Labour Congress has ruled out strike action scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, to demand a new national minimum wage.

    The NLC President, Joe Ajaero, made this known on Monday during the ongoing International Labour Conference taking place in Geneva, Switzerland.

    According to the Guardian, Ajaero said organised labour cannot embark on strike tomorrow because the figures presented by the Tritiparte committee on minimum wage are with President Bola Tinubu.

    He clarified that the submission of N62,000 as proposed by the government and the organized employersโ€™ body with labour proposing N250,000 does not translate to labour accepting N62,000 as the new minimum wage.

    He said: โ€œThe tripartite committee submitted two figures to the President. Government and employers proposed N62,000 while labour proposed N250,000. We are waiting for the decision of the President. Our National Executive Council (NEC) will deliberate on the new figure when it is out.

    โ€œWe cannot declare strike now because the figures are with the President. We will wait for the Presidentโ€™s decision.

    โ€œDuring the tenure of the immediate past President, the figure that was proposed to him was N27,000 by the tripartite committee but he increased it to N30,000. We are hopeful that this President will do the right thing. The President had noted that the difference between N62,000 and N250,000 is a wide gulf.โ€

    The NLC president also berated state governors under the umbrella body of the Nigerian Governorsโ€™ Forum for rejecting the N62,000 minimum wage proposal.

    He said, โ€œHow can any governor say he cannot pay? They cannot also be calling for the decentralization of the minimum wage.

    โ€œAre there wages decentralized? Governors whose states are not contributing a dime to the national purse and who generate pitiable Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) are collecting the same amount as governors whose states are generating billions of dollars into the FAAC.

    โ€œThey should decentralize their salaries and emoluments first.

    โ€œSo, where is the governor of Edo state, Godwin Obaseki getting his money from? He is paying N70,000 minimum wage. This is the type of governor that should be emulated and not the lazy ones.โ€
