The organized labour has directed
Presidents and Secretaries of affiliate labour unions to mobilize members and
be on a standby in case of any further directives on the implementations of the
agreed new minimum wage for Nigerian workers.
The organized Labour said that
there are still bridges to cross despite the success recorded in making the
Federal Government to accept N30,000 as the agreed minimum wage.
This was made known in a
statement signed by the General Secretary of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC,
Dr. Peter Ozo-Eson in Abuja, on Tuesday.
It also said that the report on
the Minimum Wage Tripartite Committee will be submitted to President Muhammadu
Buhari by 4:15pm on Tuesday.
The statement reads, “Following
the meeting of the Tripartite Committee on the National Minimum Wage; the
signing of the final report recommending 30,000 Naira as the recommended new
national Minimum Wage; and the readiness of Mr President to receive the report
formally tomorrow (today) 6th November, 2018 at 4:15 pm; the strike called to
commence tomorrow (today) has been suspended by the Leadership of Organised
Labour.
“Comrades, please note that there
are still several bridges to cross before the new Minimum Wage becomes law. It
is our collective commitment and dedication that has made the progress so far
possible.
“We all need to stand ready in a
state of full mobilization in case future action becomes necessary to push for
the timely enactment and implementation of the new minimum wage.”
