Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress, TUC in Delta State have told the state government that the implementation of the new minimum wage of ₦70,000 should begin after receiving the template and consequential adjustment details from the federal government.
NLC Chairman in the state, Goodluck Ofobruku and his counterpart in TUC , Martins Bolum stated this at the 5th edition of the Journalist Hangout, tagged “Parley to Party,” organized by the Delta State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, in Asaba. Ofobruku and Bolum mentioned that the unions have instructed state officials to halt the payment until the adjustment is out.
If we start with the junior staff, it could lead to discrepancies where a Level 1 Step 1 worker earns ₦70,000, while a Level 5 worker earns ₦100,000, and a Level 8 officer earns less than ₦80,000. This could cause demotivation among workers,” Comrade Ofobruku explained. While saying the delay was in the best interest of workers, he further assured workers that the NLC is working tirelessly to ensure arrears are paid, urging them to remain patient.
