Labour unions in Kwara State have given the state government a 14-day ultimatum from Monday, September 28, 2020, to implement the N30,000 new minimum wage or face an industrial action.

The unions made this known on Monday in a statement jointly signed by the Chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress, Issa Ore; acting Chairman, Trade Union Congress, Ezekiel Adegoke; and Chairman, state Joint Negotiating Council, Saliu Suleiman.

“We note with dismay the directive of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to the Ministry of Finance to stop deduction and remittance of union check-off dues and other third-party deductions to the concerned unions and associations in the state, whereas deduction of check-off dues is a statutory obligation of every employer of labour where union operates.”

The government, in its reaction, urged the workers not to embark on any industrial action, adding that it had hitherto enjoyed a cordial relationship with the unions in the state. “We commend them for their patience and for their understanding. Like I said, negotiations are ongoing and there may not be any need for a strike, because the two sides are showing mutual understanding. We’re showing good faith as a government, as we also commend labour unions in the state and the entire workforce in the state.
