Minimum Wage: We Are Still On Strike – NLC by Prestar(m): 9:10am On Jun 04
The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC has said it is still on strike.

According to the labour union, its organs will meet to decide on the outcome of the meeting with the Federal Government.

Posting on X on Tuesday, NLC wrote: “Until we hear from Our Organs at our Meeting scheduled for today, 4th June, we are still on strike.”

On Monday, the Federal Government and the organised labour reached an agreement that might end the ongoing strike.

The organized labour embarked on an indefinite strike on Monday to push for an improved pay package for workers.

The strike led to a meeting between the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Senator George Akume and labour leaders in Abuja.

At the end of the meeting, it was agreed that “Further to the negotiation by the Tripartite Committee on National Minimum Wage (NMW) and subsequent withdrawal of Labour from negotiation, the Leadership of the National Assembly intervened on 2nd June, 2024. The Organised Labour declared nationwide strike on Monday, 3rd June, 2024 to drive home its demands.

“The Federal Government, in the National interest, convened a meeting with Labour held in the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, on Monday 3rd June, with a view to ending the strike action.

“The President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria is committed to a National Minimum Wage that is higher than N60,000.”

It’s no retreat no surrender. Fg should yield to the Labour unions demands on time.

Let the strike continue while negotiations is still ongoing. As soon as an agreement is reached then they can call off the strike.
There is no sign of commitment from the federal government. Strike will surely continues until all the demands are meant. It’s for the best for Tinubu government to ascend the demands of Labour unions before things get out of hand. The real negotiation will start from 100k and above.

Those who advised the president to remove the oil and forex subsidy tricked the president.

They have played the so called smart man a trick.

Now you have to use all that money you have saved from the subsidies.

You have to hand it over to the state governors to pay salaries.

When Nigeria paid subsidy, the funds were controlled at the federal level.

Now all the states can now have access to a crazy amount of money in the name of salary payment.

In a country where there is no real statistics on the actual amount of workers in any state.

The president is about to use the next 8 years handing over the treasury to the sub-nationals and just be a figure head..........lol

You have been played Mr President.

You are now not only subsidizing oil and Forex.You are also paying out the treasury to sub-nationals
