Nigeria Labour Congress , Tuesday vowed that it would enforce to the letter the implementation of the New National Minimum Wage once the issue of consequential adjustments has been settled with the states.
Wabba regretted that at this era Nigerian workers are forced to beg for their salaries which are now owed in arrears. “Let me also inform you that there is difference between the law we have and the law that has existed from 1981 till date. In 1981 when the first minimum wage was enacted there was no provision for sanctions. In this one we negotiated there is a provision for sanctions because it is already a law. Any state or person that violates the provision of law there are three ways to address it: one is that the worker can report his union.
“It is no longer discussed in hushed tones that the government is struggling with liquidity. As know, this crisis is rooted in bad governance. Two things define bad governance in this respect – institutionalization of corruption in public expenditure and weaknesses cum sabotage in internal revenues accruable to government. On corruption in public expenditure, the issue of humongous salaries and allowances paid to elected public officials and contract inflation top the list of our concerns.
