(LOCAL) Nigeria Labour Congress Reject N27,000 New National Minimum Wage

 

  The Nigeria Labour Congress has rejected the N27,000 new national minimum wage adopted by the National Council of States on Tuesday.

  The NLC Secretary-General, Dr. Peter Ozo-Eson, made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja. According to him, the council has no jurisdiction determining another amount after a Tripartite Committee had submitted its report. “It is abysmal of government to be delaying the submission of an Executive Bill to the National Assembly and by wrongfully adopting N27,000 through the council of states,” he said.
