The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC has assured that the ongoing negotiations for a new national minimum wage will be concluded before the end of August and that implementation would begin immediately after.
NLC President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba gave the assurance at the 16th Rain School and the 32nd in the sequence of the NLC National Schools, with the theme: “Labour, politics and national unity: Expanding the frontiers of workers’ participation”.
While lamenting that social and economic situations of average Nigerians were daily becoming bleaker than before, Wabba also noted that despite claims by government that the country has exited recession, Nigerians were yet to see the results of the exit.
The NLC President attributed the numerous problems facing the country and its people to signs of bad governance and leadership, but said the Labour movement remains the only institution that could integrate the Nigerian people as a united body.
