Why we’re not involved in technical committee, by NLC
NIGERIA Labour Congress (NLC) President Ayuba Wabba has explained why Labour is not involved in the Technical Committee on the Implementation of the national minimum wage being proposed.
The panel, the unionist stated, “is purely an internal arrangement of the Federal Government.”
Reacting to the inauguration of the committee by President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday, Wabba said the Minister of Labour & Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, has already assured Labour that the committee was an in-house affair of the government and has nothing to do with Labour”.
Wabba informed that the government promised Labour to put in place processes of mobilising resources, adding that Labour had thought that the committee will renegotiate the minimum wage, “but we’re assured that it has nothing to do with that.”
