Despite the ultimatum handed down by the organised labour to the Federal Government on the May 31, 2024 deadline to implement
a new minimum wage , both parties to the negotiation at the resumed Tripartite Committee on the National Minimum Wage ...• Anambra, NLC resolve issues as Soludo sets up committee on minimum wage
Though the meeting was still ongoing at the time of filing this report, a source, who is also a member of the committee but doesn’t want his name in print, said labour, comprising the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria and the Nigeria Labour Congress , shifted ground as requested by the Federal Government, but it was still a far cry from government’s expectations.
But the private sector made an additional N3,000 taking up its offer to N57,000 from the initial N54,000, to which the government now acceded to as fulfilling its bargain of shifting grounds. The new position was confirmed by the Deputy President of the NLC Political Commission, Prof. Theophilus Ndubuaku. Ndubuaku told newsmen that the labour team was compelled to reduce its demand to ensure the Federal Government meets up with the arrangement.
MEANWHILE, the Anambra State government and organised labour in the state, have in the interim, resolved the knotty issue of the state’s minimum wage for its workforce. According to him, it would have been a different thing if Anambra had workers on grade level one, but the state doesn’t have that. He said the governor has also set up another committee that will look into the issue of increasing the wages for workers and the committee will comprise NLC, TUC, NULGE, as well as government officials, including the accountant general of the state, just as labour in the state awaits the resolution of the Federal Government on the new minimum wage.
