The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, told his colleagues to make sure that all workers in the country get the new minimum wage of N70,000.
Ajaero shared this message during a workshop in the northern region of the country on September 4, stressing that it is important for every worker to receive the new wage as intended.
He stated, “Remember comrades, production they say in economics is not complete until it reaches the final consumer. So, this national minimum wage exercise cannot be said to be complete until it reaches all of our members wherever they may be working.
“Your comrades are the vessels that would be used in delivering this. The extent to which you can deliver the expected benefits is dependent on your capacity and your character.
“Your focus and determination including your resilience and how you can communicate the process to our members in your respective states is very important. The situation to you presents both challenges and opportunities to you.”
As a reminder, President Tinubu signed the minimum wage bill into law in July after it was approved by the National Assembly. This bill raises the National Minimum Wage from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000.
