Just as of when we all where thinking that the saga between the Federal Government and the labour unions was looking as if an agreement may be in the horizon, Labour has hit back rejecting the Federal Government of 27,000 minimum wage for Nigerian workers.
The Secretary-General, of the Labour union Dr. Peter Ozo-Eson, made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja.
He said that 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.
Though he did say that , NLC has scheduled an emergency National Executive Council meeting for Friday to weigh on the deadline given to government within which to submit an executive bill to the National Assembly.
The NLC scribe added that the Federal Government was only projecting a shutdown of the economy with its latest action.
“This is because workers should not be held responsible for any development after its NEC meeting on Friday,’’ he said.
