The Nation Newspaper Minimum wage: NCPC calls for amicable resolution between govt, labour
The Executive Secretary Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission , Bishop Stephen Adegbite has urged the federal government, Nigeria Labour Congress , and Trade Union Congress , to consider a reasonable pay to solve the minimum wage crisis.
The NCPC boss said he no doubt that the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun will do a good job of carrying out the directive of President Bola Tinubu on him to work out a template for a new minimum wage figure and analysis of the fiscal impact on the federal budget.
“As much as the Federal government has ruled out Labour’s previous demand of N494,000 minimum wage and committed itself to going over N60,000, all the parties should spare a thought for Private sector players who are the largest bloc of employers in the country. “So in our view, the subnationals have more funds for developmental projects than ever before but will also keep their eyes on the ongoing national minimum wage negotiations. So our prayer is that both sides should reach an understanding on a minimum wage structure that will be acceptable to all the parties involved without causing more problems in the system”.
The NCPC advised the subnationals to support the Federal Government with initiatives in their states especially now that many states are getting almost double what they were receiving from the federation account.
