The Federal Government has been threatened with industrial action by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) if the former does not start implementation of the N56,000 new national minimum wage.
NLC President, Mr. Ayuba Wabba issued the warning during a meeting with some selected Labour Correspondents in Abuja that the strike would commence May 1, 2017 if the Federal Government continues to act stubborn.
He complained about the non-inclusion of the new wage increase in the budget for the 2017 fiscal year presented by President Muhammadu Buhari before the joint session of the National Assembly last week.
He stated that NLC would not guarantee Industrial peace in the country if the government fails to set up the tripartite committee to determine a new Minimum Wage in the country before May 1, 2017.
