The Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria , yesterday, boycotted the ongoing meeting on the implementation of a new national minimum wage.The Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria , yesterday, boycotted the ongoing meeting on the implementation of a new national minimum wage.
They said the figures insult the sensibilities of Nigerian workers and fall short of meeting their needs and aspirations. They stressed that the paltry amounts further demonstrate the unwillingness of employers and government to faithfully negotiate a fair national minimum wage for workers. In a related development, the Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki, said the N70,000 new minimum wage for civil and public servants in the state will be funded by revenue inflow on the back of the government’s business-friendly policies as well as savings from expenditure as a result of nuanced reforms by his administration over the past seven and a half years.
House of Representatives, yesterday, urged the Presidency to suspend the introduction of new Genetically Modified crops in the country until a detailed investigation is conducted. Executive Secretary, National Senior Secondary Schools Commission , Dr Iyela Ajayi, has urged the Federal Government to focus on private schools to reposition senior secondary education in the country.
