A former Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress , Kwara State Council, Emmanuel Ayeoribe says labour will paralyse activities in states that are not ready to implement the new minimum wage and negotiate the consequential adjustment. He spoke to COLLINS OLAYINKA.
Moreso, the issue of salary is on the Concurrent List, it is not what only states can determine. As far as I am concerned, there is no way they can run away from it. The other flip side of the matter is that if it was on the political side, whatever politicians in Sokoto, Yobe or Jigawa states earn, is the same thing that politicians in Lagos, Bayelsa, Rivers and Delta states would earn.
For me, there is no two way to this. We must fight it out. This is not a new development; it has always been a reoccurring decimal. I think that by now, we would have learnt our lessons and stop dissipating our energy on issues that are inconsequential. We should focus on more critical issues of development.
I learnt that some state governors are saying they will adjust N18, 000 and not engage in fresh negotiation. How can that happen in a country where there are laws? So, for me, if any governor is not ready to implement the new national wage, such a governor should await the fury of the organised labour movement. Such a struggle at this point is going to be a very long battle that may destroy some of the governors if care is not taken.
