Ngige promises to end disagreement over minimum wage WednesdayMotivation
As workers earnestly await the implementation of the minimum wage, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige has promised to end the disagreement on the consequential adjustment and salary relativity.
“If you remember, a committee was set up and I was a member. When we left, the Permanent Secretary took our place and was negotiating with the Joint Negotiating Council on the consequential adjustment.“The states are waiting for that, and it is not proper for us not to fast-track that negotiation so that even the states will not have too much backlog to pay when the consequential adjustment is concluded.
Ngige said that another negotiation was important to be able to ascertain the number of states that would be able to be to pay the backlog. He also disclosed that the federal government would constitute a Presidential Committee on Salaries and Allowances that would take request after the consequential adjustment and ensure salary uniformity.
