This decision was made known by the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, at the ongoing International Labour Conference in Geneva, Switzerland.Ajaero said: “We cannot declare strike now because the figures are with the President.

Ajaero berated governors who declared that they wouldn't be able to pay a minimum wage of N62,000.He said, “How can any governor say he cannot pay? They cannot also be calling for the decentralization of the minimum wage.“Are there wages decentralized?
