There are strong indications that the state chapters of the Nigeria Labour Congress will as from May 1 begin talks with their state governments on the implementation of the N30,000 minimum wage recently approved by President Muhammadu Buhari.
“There is no negotiation again because it has been signed into law. So, as a law, it is binding on all state governments to implement it. There is no going back on it. Workers in Ekiti State are looking forward to it.” “It is a law. New minimum wage is a law that must be respected. We believe the government will do the needful. We will write to the state government this week to request the committee that will negotiate with us,” Adekomi said.Also, the newly-elected Chairman of the Cross River State chapter of the NLC, Benedict Ukpepi, said the union planned to meet with the state government on the implementation of the new minimum wage soon.
Nwobodo said the congress would meet on Thursday to deliberate on the directive of the national secretariat to marshal out plans on the possible way to engage with the government.However, the Akwa Ibom State Government said it had concluded plans to set up a committee on the new minimum wage. But the Delta State chairman of the NLC, Mr Goodluck Ofobruku, said the Governor Ifeanyi Okowa administration had agreed to implement the new minimum wage.
The new state Chairman of the NLC, Bankole Emmanuel, stated this while speaking with The PUNCH on the new minimum wage.Emmanuel said the union had not received any invitation for negotiation from the state government since Buhari signed the minimum wage bill into law. He said, “In any case, if we have any invitation, we are ready. But, so far, there is no such invitation.
Also, the state Chairman of the NLC in Edo State, Mr Sunday Osayande, in an interview with The PUNCH, said, “We want to play safe in Edo and the governor has promised that he will implement the minimum wage. So, we don’t want anybody to coerce us into negotiations. We don’t want to negotiate in a vacuum. We want to get the federal chart so that we would not be short-changed.”
