Mr Innocent Ajiji, the President General of Nigeria Union of
Railway Workers (NUR) on Wednesday tasked the Minister of Transportation, Mr
Rotimi Amaechi, to address the poor welfare of railway workers.
Ajiji, who disclosed this to the newsmen in Abuja, said
railway staff receives the lowest remuneration among the transport
parastatals.
He said that Amaechi should use his good office to review
the welfare of staff, the way Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) staff remuneration
was improved.
“The railway union has a lot of challenges, our workers’
welfare is very poor and that is what I keep talking about since I came on
board.
“I want the minister to do what he did in NPA by improving
our salaries. I want him to at least upgrade our salary even above the thirty
thousand naira minimum wage,“ he said.
Ajiji said that the government had improved on railways
infrastructure across the country and urged it to complete all the projects for
the benefit of Nigerians.
