Dr Salihu Lukman, Director-General Progressive Governors Forum , has said that there are lots of distortions in the current minimum wage debate being championed by the Nigeria Labour Congress .
The NLC is campaigning for the retention of minimum wage in the exclusive legislative list under the amended 1999 Constitution. He said that the convention never stipulated that the process should be the exclusive preserve of federal authorities.The PGF DG added that the convention allowed for flexibility for each country to apply the guiding principles to its circumstances through consultative processes, taking into consideration all interests in the country’s labour market.
“We should separate the problems associated with implementing agreements from the bigger challenge of correcting wrong procedure used in fixing minimum wage in the country. Lukman stressed that it was important that these distortions were corrected, adding that the country`s democracy must be insulated from distortions and falsehood.
