The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has instructed its members in states yet to commence the implementation of the new minimum wage to begin an indefinite strike from December 1, 2024. The order is part of the resolutions of the NLC after its National Executive Council, NEC, meeting at the weekend.
The communique of the meeting read in part, “The NEC notes with deep frustration the persistent delay and outright refusal by some state governments to implement the 2024 National Minimum Wage Act. 'This betrayal by certain governors and government officials across the country flies in the face of both legality and morality, as workers continue to be denied their rightful wages amidst rising economic hardship.
“To this end, all state Councils where the National Minimum Wage has not been fully implemented by the last day of November, 2024 have been directed to proceed on strike beginning from the 1st day of December, 2024. Nigerian workers demand justice, and justice they shall have.' On the worsening economic situation in the country, the NLC said its NEC observes, with profound concern, the accelerating economic hardship inflicted upon Nigerian citizens.
