The Organised Labour, comprising the Nigerian Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress on Saturday attacked the state governors, warning them to stop justifying why they can’t afford N615,000 new national minimum wage.
They said the inflammatory utterances coming from the governors could set the Nigeria on fire.
The Union leaders urged the governors to work with the 37-member committee saddled with the responsibility of fashioning out a new national minimum wage for the country.
According to the Organised Labour, it is being magnanimous with N615,000 new minimum wage’ demand, based on the socio-economic indices on the ground.
“We would have demanded much higher which the governors are more than able to pay.
“However, We remain committed to the process and promise that better wages will be the invariable outcome of ongoing negotiations,” it stated.
