PRESIDENT of the Trade Union Congress, TUC, Comrade Festus Osifo, told the 36 state State governors to start saving funds that would be used to pay arrears of the new minimum wage when it comes in force.

— Urges Tinubu, NASS to expedite action on passage of Minimum Wage Bill

He said, “On the issue of the minimum wage what we wish to also say is that we are not at this moment even dwelling on the N30,000 again because we know that by the grace of God, before the end of July, maximum early August, the new minimum wage act should be there. “So I wish to also appeal that in Kogi, let that be the top priority amidst this scarcity of income, amidst this scarcity of revenue. Let the state pay the new minimum wage when it is implemented and also manage the consequential adjustment so that at the end of the day, the workers will be better off for it.

“So I encourage you to continue in that regard, to pay salary promptly and also to implement the new minimum wage. “We also call on the President, the National Assembly, let everybody expedite the process of passing the new national minimum wage.
