FG Moves To Avert Labour Strike, Summons State Govs by 1Ebiscoo: 7:01am On Oct 27, 2018 |
The federal government has commenced moves to prevent a general strike ahead of the November 6 deadline set by organised labour following disagreement over a new minimum wage for workers. Consequently, the federal government has fixed a meeting on Monday to come up with a new national minimum wage. The minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, told State House correspondents yesterday that an“enlarged meeting of all key stakeholders in the government circle at both federal and states has been scheduled for Monday.” While the unions are insisting on a N30,000 per month minimum wage, the federal government is proposing N24,000, while state governors are proposing N20,000, a marginal increase on the current minimum wage of N18,000, which many states have failed to implement. LEADERSHIP Weekend recalls that organised labour last Sunday announced that it would embark on indefinite strike from November 6. In its response, the federal government had threatened to invoke a no-work, no-pay policy if labour went ahead with its planned strike action. However, this strong arm tactics seems not to have deterred the workers’ union. Earlier this week, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) advised Nigerians to commence stocking food and other necessities of life as workers will ensure a total shutdown of the country, beginning from November 6, should the government fail to pass the N30,000 new minimum wage. In a resolution reached at the end of the National Executive Council (NEC) of the NLC held in Abuja on Wednesday, the workers’ union also said they were not perturbed by the no-work no-pay policy of the federal government, insisting that the right to strike was both a human right and a trade union right, and could not be abridged. The NLC said its strike would lead to a total shutdown of the country. This unwavering stance may have signified to government that Labour is not ready to back down, hence the moves to seek ways of averting a confrontation with the workers’ union. Labour minister, Dr Ngige, said a decision would be taken at the end of Monday’s meeting before a draft law would be transmitted to the National Assembly by President Muhammadu Buhari on the new national minimum wage law. “On Monday the economic team will meet and the governors are supposed to come so that the federal government will brief them on what is on the ground. “And we will see what they will be able to put to us, because the government side is still three tiers, the federal, states and the local governments. The federal government is the leader. “So, we are inviting them to come so that we will listen to them again, tell them what we are doing and what we intend to do, because they even have members on that committee. “On Monday we will have a very useful discussion before the tripartite committee will come and submit its report,’’ Ngige said. The minister faulted NLC’s position on the draft White Paper on Industrial Harmony, saying that the labour officials were misinformed about its content. According to him, the white paper did not oppose the inclusion of non-elected officials to lead the labour unions in negotiations. “I don’t think they read the reports of the committee that was set up. The one I participated in is the white paper drafting and the recommendation is there. “So what the labour officials are talking of may be misinformation, because the particular aspect of it they are talking about, we rejected it – where they say non-elected members should not lead them in negotiation. My committee said `no’ because those people they call secretary–general or general secretary, some of them become automatic members of those unions. “You don’t have to dispossess them of the right to lead. So government rejected it but they are shouting that government accepted it,’’ he said. https://www.mcebisco.com.ng/2018/10/fg-moves-to-avert-labour-strike-summons.html

The government is playing and NLC is filled with jokers, to me the government should break down salaries of those people at the top and help reduce prices of things, because when the minimum wage is implemented trust me prices of things would increase and most state are still owing salaries so how will they pay the new one. Is just kogi people I pity, they don't have governor. 5 Likes |

SOME OF US WORK WITH FACTS AND NOT
EMOTIONS!
Between Presidents Obasanjo, Jonathan and
Buhari.
Record has it that president Obasanjo
sacked his IGP Tafa Balogun for corruption.
He sacked the then Senate President Adolfus
Wabara for corruption. He also sacked his
own ministers, Fabian Osuji, S.M Afolabi,
Hussein Akwanga, Tim Menakaya, etc for
corruption. He also sacked Mrs Mobolaji
Osomo for administrative infraction. The
same way late president Umaru Musa
Yar’Adua sacked Mrs Adenike Grange as
Minister of Health for administrative
infraction.
It's on records that president Jonathan also
sacked Stella Odua for corruption. Stella
Odua was one of the most powerful
ministers in president Jonathan's
administration. But when she erred,
President Jonathan sacked her. President
Jonathan also sacked Mr. Abdulrasheed
Maina as the Chairman of the Presidential
Task Force on Pension Reform for
corruption.
Now, tell me who president Buhari has
sacked for the reported cases of corruption
in his government?
Mind you, If you tell me that president
Buhari sacked Babachir, I will happily
remind you that the same president Buhari
wrote the Senate, defended and exonerated
Babachir of all wrong doings leveled against
him. It was the cry of people like you and me
and some other good Nigerians that forced
him to sack Babachir and have him replaced
with his own brother, Boss Mustapha. In
other words, Mr. Babachir brought his own
replacement.
Yet, some hero worshipping obsessive dim-
wits will still want me to believe that
president Buhari is Mr. Integrity and that he
is fighting corruption.
Let me also remind you that president
Buhari also reappointed the following guys
who were all sacked for corruption and
violation of their oaths of offices:
Abdulrasheed Maina:
Maina was the chairman of the Presidential
Task Force on Pension Reform. He was
secretly recalled and reinstated by president
Buhari. He was even promoted to the
position of director in charge of human
resources in the ministry of interior. Maina
was dismissed by president Jonathan in
2013 following recommendations by the
Office of the Head of Service. He was said to
have stolen about 100billion naira from the
pension fund.
CP Zakari Biu:
CP Biu was dismissed following his
complicity in the escape from police
detention of notorious Boko Haram suspect,
Kabiru Sokoto. He was reinstated and
promoted to the rank of AIG by president
Buhari before he was gloriously retired from
active service.
NHIS Boss, Prof Usman Yusuf:
Prof Yusuf was said to have squandered
over 997 million naira from the schemes
intervention fund. Investigation was carried
out and he was dully sacked by the minister
of health. But because he is president
Buhari's brother, he was recently reinstated.
Mallam Ahmed Saleh.
Saleh was the Chief Registrar of the Supreme
Court. He connived with two others
(Mohammed Abdulrahaman Sharif and
Rilwanu Lawal) and stole 2.2 billion naira
belonging to the apex court. They were also
said to have received gratifications totaling
74.4 million naira from private contractors
who were providing services to the apex
court. Mallam Saleh was sacked but
president Buhari reinstated him and
promoted him as the Secretary of Legal
Council of Nigeria.
Don't ever tell me that president Buhari is
fighting corruption. Facts on ground are
showing otherwise. Some of us work with
facts not emotions.
