The President Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Ayuba Wabba insists on a nationwide strike over the non-implementation of N30, 000 as the new National Minimum Wage despite the National Industrial Court ruling in Abuja.
According to Mr. Wabba, we are not aware of any court ruling and we have not being served any notice.
“We have just concluded our joint organ meetings of the Central Working Committees of the Labour Centres of the NLC, Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the United Labour Congress (ULC) here in Lagos.
“The meeting is the final preparation for a full engagement with the government on the new National Minimum Wage and we have taken our decision to go on the strike.
The National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN) in Abuja has restrained the organised labour from proceeding on nationwide strike on Friday.
The Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) had issued a communique after its meeting claiming that state governors can only pay N22, 500, as the new national minimum wage.
