Members of the Organised Labour on Sunday were absent at the reconciliation meeting with the Federal Government over the non-implementation of the N30,000 new National Minimum Wage for the workers in the country.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Federal Government had called a reconciliatory meeting with the Organised Labour and the Organised Private Sector, scheduled to hold at the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

The National Industrial Court had on Friday gave a ruling restraining the organised labour from embarking on proposed strike on Nov. 6.

Mr Boss Mustapha, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) said on Sunday that the meeting was part of the exercise that ought to be undertaken as part of the ongoing negotiation.

He said the meeting was to ensure a complete report to be submitted to the presidency on the issues of the new National Minimum Wage.

Mustapha said that the Tripartite Committee has been working assiduously, but though there were outstanding issues that needed to be dealt with, and that was the reason for the rescheduling of the meeting.

“Basically, the only outstanding issue to be dealt with was the harmonisation of the 5th chapter of the report, and thereafter get the figures to be submitted to the government.

“The inaugural speech by Mr President included some very salient points, that caused me to reflect on the work of this committee, and one of it is that there is emphasis that the committee will by consensual agreement arrival at all their decisions and I think that was very important.

” Mr president went further to emphasis that the concern is not only for the welfare of the workers but also every other thing should be taken on board as it affects the county’s economy,

“So, it is a balance of the welfare of the workforce with the effect of the new Minimum Wage on the economy.

“He also underpinned his speech by emphasising the fact we earn to go above basic social protection for Nigerian workers, but also tie to the ability to pay, because I know that a lot of states are even having difficulty meeting the basic minimum wage,” he said.

The SGF also noted that 27 states were faced with the difficulty in the payment of the basic minimum wage that was agreed, saying that he was not making any excuse for them.

He added that the meeting would continue tomorrow (Monday), thereafter members of the tripartite committee would continue with their meeting.

” I want to assure all of you that once the report is concluded and ready, I will personaly ensure that Mr President receives and signs it immediately,” he said.

Meanwhile, Mr Joe Ajaero, President, United Labour Congress (ULC) told NAN that members of the organised labour got the invitation to the meeting late.

“But hopefully, we will be around for tomorrow’s (Monday) meeting by 11a.m,” he said.

All efforts to get other members of the organised labour proved abortive.

However, Sen. Chris Ngige, Minister of Labour and Employment gave the assurance that organised labour would be at the meeting on Monday.

According to him, they are not here today and they gave excuse why they are not here.

“We also want to say that we do not support the State governments’ N22,500 proposal and we have also said so.

“We also have our own figure and the Tripartite Committee meeting will look at it and the outcome of the Monday’s meeting will be a consensual, I am sure of that, ” he said.

History repeating itself. Buhari and his cohorts were so engrossed with lies, looting, budget padding, certificate forgery, grass cutting fraud, $45 Million Ikoyi cover up, gandugate etc. that they forgot that Nigerians will someday come knocking for results of what they’ve done for the past 3 years with the trust bestowed on them at the 2015 polls.

It’s coming, wait for it!

I think this was the same thing that happened during Jonathan rigim short time to the election every labour union went on strike it's now repeating itself now

Buhari and his gang of failure thinks we are fools.

Buhari and his gang of failure thinks we are fools.

must you guys scream buhari for everything ? They are still negotiating.

Those labour Union leaders are very foolish people who will go on strike for about 2-3 days and will call off the strike after that.

I think labour Union should also go on strike concerning the salary of National Assembly members.

Government of evil supporters

People are poor and suffering, only Buhari's supporters do not see it at all. All they want is just road and train

so during the tenure of PDP people were not suffering and poor,coupled with the fact that infrastructure was terrible?

If the PDP has been during the right things like decentralising, fighting corruption, good infrastructure then the APC government won't have focus on those things you mentioned, but there is absolutely nothing on ground.

Isoright
