New minimum wage is not salary review - Ngige

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, says organised labour is wrong in seeing the consequential adjustment in salary as total salary review.

The workers had issued a notice of imminent if the government fails to accept its demands on the consequential adjustment in workers’ salary as a result of the new minimum wage by October 16. “As we speak, the issue of consequential adjustment is the main issue. The Minimum Wage Act was signed by President Muhammadu Buhari on April 18, 2019. From that day the National Minimum Wage came to effect. All employers of labour in the public and private sector are expected to obey the law of the land and make sure that the least paid worker in the lowest rung of the ladder receives N30,000 minimum wage.

He said the committee put in place to work on the total review of workers’ salaries would submit its report on December 9. “We have instances of people with decent degree, some with first class; some with second class upper and another man with third class. The man with the third class finds himself in the government establishment where he is earning an amount. The other person finds himself in core civil service and earns one-third of the amount . It does not make sense.

What are you saying? Is it because you now have a barrister as a minister of state?

Minimum wage increase is more than just wages. It is more about dignity. What it means to take care of yourself and wards without begging. We are asking for people to be paid what they are worth. People want to be respected for the work that their contribute. PayMinimumWage
