The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC)
has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari, to expedite action on the proposed
new national minimum wage, by transmitting it to the National Assembly in good
time.
Dr. Peter Eson-Ozo, NLC General
Secretary, stated this in an interview with newsmen on Monday in Abuja.
Eson-Ozo said the Tripartite
Committee on the new national minimum wage, had concluded its meetings and
N30,000 was agreed upon as the new minimum wage for Nigerian workers.
“The report has been submitted to
Mr President and what we expect now from Mr President is to do justice to that
report, by quickly raising an executive bill on the new National Minimum Wage.
“And when that bill gets to the
National Assembly, we want to assure Nigerian workers that we will be ready to
engage them constructively,” he said.
Eson-Ozo added that there was no
controversy over the agreed amount, as it was the agreement reached during the
negotiations by members of the committee.
“We all signed up on the N30,
000, so why should there be any controversy,” he added.
