Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has accused the Federal Government of engaging in unnecessary delay in constituting a three-party committee to negotiate the new minimum wage for Nigerian workers.
Ayuba Wabba, NLC President disclosed this at the 4th NLC National Gender Conference and Election of the Leadership of National Women Commission yesterday in Abuja.
According to reports, the 4th Delegates Conference had as its theme “Consolidating the Gains of Gender Mainstreaming in the Trade Unions.”
He said that the labour had submitted a request for an upward review of the National Minimum Wage which was signed into law in 2011 by President Goodluck Jonathan.
Wabba said that despite the minimum wage was due for renegotiation after 5 years, the present administration had yet to constitute the committee.
