BREAKING:NLC REJECTS GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL ON NEW MINIMUM WAGE

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) today, condemned the statement of intent made by the Nigeria Governors forum over its readiness to pay N22, 500 as minimum wage for workers.

The President of the union, Mr. Ayuba Wabba,is of the opinion that NGF was not known to law and was thus an illegal body which cannot give verdict on issues out of their power right.

Mr Ayuba advised all the governors to return to their respective states and consult with workers, demanding that every governor should pay N66,500 to every worker as minimum wage.
