N35,000 Wage Award To Continue Until Minimum Wage Is Settled

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Nkiruka Onyejeocha, has assured Nigerian workers that the N35,000 wage award approved for them by the Federal Government will continue until the new minimum wage is settled.The Federal Government in October last year agreed to pay N35,000 to workers to cushion the hardship occasioned by the removal of petrol subsidy on the workers.

“I said it time without number that labour are Nigerians like me and you, there is nothing that the Federal government is hiding from them, the book is open and we have not closed negotiations. “The Federal Government will continue to pay it until the minimum wage is settled and of course, the minimum wage, if it ends today, we are going to take it back from when the old one ended which is April 18After failing to agree on a new minimum wage following months of negotiations with the Federal Government, the organised labour embarked on strike on Monday, crippling economic activities in the country.
