New minimum wage: Ngige speaks as FG, Labour Union reschedules meeting
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, has promised to end the disagreement on the consequential adjustment and salary relativity.
But, speaking on Wednesday, Ngige said the decision to end the disagreement was to avoid the burden the backlog of arrears, the new minimum wage, would pose to state governments. “We have on our own budgeted for it in the 2019 budget and we are going to also budget for it in the 2020 budget. We are concerned about the states because some of the states are not proactive like us.
He said that it was the determination of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to fast-track the negotiation on consequential adjustment.
