Labour rejects FG’s N48,000 offer as Minimum Wage, storm out of meeting

 May 15, 2024 Gasper Babatunde 

THE Organized labour on Wednesday stormed out of the minimum wage committee meeting with the Federal Government over the later’s offer of N48,000 new wage.

Recall that the organized labour had made a demand of N615,000 as the new minimum wage and had given the government up till May 31 to conclude negotiations on new living wage.

The Tripartite Committee on New National Minimum Wage resumed negotiations on Wednesday.

It was reliably gathered that representatives of the organized labour comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, were enraged over the government offer.

Professor Theophilus Ndubuaku, who is one of the representatives of the NLC told Vanguard that, “we asked whether the N45,000 is for transport, food, clothing, housing or for what.

“So we just told them that since they are not serious, we better just leave, so we stormed out of the place.”

He said that the government offer was presented to them by the Permanent Secretary, Secretary to the Government of the Federation Office.

ONIKOYI OF IKOYI AND DELAYED JUSTICE

 Justice delayed, not denied! Say’s Prince Wasiu Akanni Durojaye Enitan as he appeals to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over transparency and fairness in Implementing the agreement signed as governor of Lagos State with the local government authority and representatives of the 10 Ruling Houses. As a law abiding citizen with respect for constitutional authority. A passionate appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the rule of law which is the regulator of chieftaincy affairs that put in place a traditional mechanism that was seemingly endorsed by the parties that can lay claim to the throne with transparency and fairness.  Why is there an impasse that is threatening to boil over? And, like tales by moonlight, all these are happening following the demise of the late monarch, HRM Patrick Ibikunle Fafunwa-Onikoyi, the Onikoyi of Ikoyi Obalende and Imoba land, who passed on at the ripe age of 92. Ordinarily, the crisis brewing in the Ikoyi kingdom of Lagos Island over the choice of ...
