The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) during a meeting had earlier today has said it will commence nationwide strike on Thursday should Federal Government fail to agree and implement the new minimum wage proposed few months ago.
Nigeria’s Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has confirmed that the new wage structure will not come into place any time soon.
According to Ngige, this is because State Governors are yet to submit their proposal on a new wage system.
The Minister told reporters in Anambra State that without a proposal from the governors, there cannot be an agreement on a new wage structure.
Ngige is the deputy chairman of the 30-man Tripartite Committee on the minimum wage set up by President Muhammadu Buhari last November.
President Buhari, while inaugurating the panel, said the current wage structure had expired.
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has proposed a minimum wage of N56,000, but employers under the umbrella of the Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association, have rejected the proposal.
