The leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress , has reiterated that the National Minimum Wage law is binding to all, and that state governors have no right to pay below N30,000.
Wabba said since the President signed the New Minimum Wage Act to law, every state governor was bound to respect the new wage structure and negotiate with labour to decide what the consequential increase should be. “The national minimum wage is actually a constitutional issue, so clearly, it is about respecting our laws and also respecting international convention and procedures.“But importantly, it is to respect the principles of Tripatism, social dialogue in addressing industrial relation issues.
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, while briefing State House correspondents said the Federal Government had given Dec. 31, as deadline for payment of arrears on consequential adjustments of the National Minimum Wage.
