The Nigeria Labour Congress, Ebonyi Chapter has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for signing the N30,000 new minimum wage bill into law.
Ebonyi NLC
Chairman, Mr Leo Nkah, who spoke in an interview with the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Abuja, said Buhari has proved to be a caring leader.
NAN recalls that
Buhari on Thursday signed the N30,000 new minimum wage bill already passed by
the National Assembly.
Nkah called for
quick release of the minimum wage table to enable workers receive the new pay
as quickly as possible.
Nkah, who is also, the President, Nigeria
Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), Ebonyi Chapter, expressed the hope
that state governors would not hesitate to pay the new wage to their workers,
since it was a collective agreement.
He also commended
the national leadership of organised labour for their doggedness throughout the
negotiation for the new national minimum wage.
Nkah stressed the
need to continue the fight especially at the state level, to ensure that states
adopt salary table released by relevant government agencies.
