This is not the first time Delta State government would be arm twisting workers in collaboration with the leadership of the NLC, but it is most unfortunate that the planned suspension of the new minimum wage for the next six months is an act of impunity
SIR: By the end of this month , the short-changing of Delta State workers by the government of Ifeanyi Okowa via the suspension of the new minimum wage would have begun. No thanks to the leadership of the Nigerian Labour Congress , Delta State chapter who have already thrown their weight behind the illegality to be perpetrated against the state workers by the Ifeanyi Okowa-led government.
While one may try to give meaning to the unreasonable assertion of the Delta State Commissioner for Information, who ordinarily is trying to justify the misdeed of his paymaster, the most frightening and regrettable is the treacherous position already adopted by the leadership of the Delta State NLC, led by Goodluck Oforbruku.
If Delta State is the ‘first’ to pay the new minimum wage as claimed by Charles Aniagwu, is it then an achievement that the state is also to be the first to suspend the payment of the new minimum wage it has already started? What is the allocation that accrues to Delta State from the federation account when compared to states like Anambra, Osun, Kogi and other states in the whole federation?
