NLC Urges FG to Commence Immediate Wage Review Onyebuchi Ezigbo in Abuja Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to order a major wage review given the considerably weak
Nigeria Labour Congress has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to order a major wage review given the considerably weakened value of the Naira against all currencies of the world making the cost of living unreasonably difficult for workers and ordinary Nigerians.
In a statement signed by the NLC President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba last night on the outcome of the National Administrative Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress , he said there is difference between the national minimum wage review and general wage review which is to address the impact of inflationary trend on workers’ take home pay.
“They deserve tolerable and indeed decent living conditions in order for them to continue to make contributions to the arduous task of nation building. In light of this, we would want this statement to be a message to all those involved in these mischiefs and evil that we are mobilising our members across the country for a major protest.
NLC said it was important to remind the federal government that the last public sector wage review was done in 2011 and has since expired, adding that the need for another review cannot be overstated given the excruciating economic realities in Nigeria today.
