The National Human Rights Commission has advised the staff union of the commission to jettison the proposed industrial action scheduled to commence on Thursday over the unpaid new minimum wage and inv

estigations allowances.

Ojukwu further said that the NHRC situation is similar with other organisations like the Independent National Electoral Commission, Public Complaints Commission, the judiciary and the National Assembly which are on the statutory transfer or first line charge in the federal allocation system. Ojukwu in a statement on Monday by the Assistant Director, Public Affairs, NHRC, Fatima Agwai, also noted that industrial harmony rather than a strike was what is needed to further deepen the interface with the government towards securing the release of the necessary funds to pay the minimum wage arrears and the consequential additions.

The NHRC Chief Executive Officer highlighted the management’s numerous staff welfare programmes and its avowed stance to prioritise the interest and welfare of the staff of the commission, saying that it has been his passion to ensure that the workers enjoyed all statutory and consequential benefits.
