    Minimum Wage: ‘No Going Back On December 1 Deadline’, NLC Tells Governors

    By Farouk AbbasNovember 23, 2024
    NLC Ajaero

    THE Nigeria Labour Congress has said its December 1 ultimatum to state governors who fail to implement the new minimum wage by the end of November 2024 still stands.

    His Royal Highness

    The NLC’s Head of Protocol and Public Relations, Benson Upah, confirmed this in a text message sent to our correspondent in Abuja.

    Recall that the NLC had given state governments an ultimatum of December 1, 2024, to implement the new minimum wage.

    UBA

    “Yes, the ultimatum still stands. Nothing has changed,” Upah told this newspaper.

    Meanwhile, more state governments who have yet to reach an agreement with the organized labour movements in their states as of the time the ultimatum was given are currently trying to meet the deadline.

    Independence Day

    The Sokoto State Government on Monday met with the state chapter of the NLC and urged the representatives to submit its proposal for the wage adjustment.

    The Deputy Governor, Alhaji Idris Gobir, made this known during the meeting.

    Happy Birthday

    “Go and bring your proposal for the new minimum wage implementation and I assure you that I will facilitate the process of quick harmonization,” Gobir said.

    The Sokoto State NLC Chairman, Abdullahi Jungul, lauded the government’s apparent commitment to the wage review.

    He urged civil servants to remain calm, assuring them that the union would submit its proposal promptly.

    The state NLC has since submitted its proposal.

    Last week, in a bid to meet the deadline, the Zamfara State Government announced that it would soon commence the payment of the new minimum wage after the ongoing verification of workers in the state.

    The state government explained that the delay in implementation was due to the activities of ghost workers.

    Recall that the state, under the leadership of former governor, Bello Matawalle, did not implement the 2019 minimum wage of N30,000.

    Also, in a bid to meet the ultimatum, the Taraba State Government announced the implementation of a new minimum wage.

    Rano Capital

    The implementation is with effect from November 2024.

    This was disclosed in a statement recently by the state Head of Service, Paul Maigida.

    “I wish to inform you that His Excellency, the Governor of Taraba State, Dr Agbu Kefas, has approved the implementation of N70,000 new minimum wage for workers in Taraba State with effect from November 2024,” the statement read.
