Minimum wage: Labour rules out strike action on Tuesday, awaits Tinubu’s nod

The Nigeria Labour Congress has ruled out strike action scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, to demand a new national minimum wage.

The NLC President, Joe Ajaero, made this known on Monday during the ongoing International Labour Conference taking place in Geneva, Switzerland.

According to the Guardian, Ajaero said organised labour cannot embark on strike tomorrow because the figures presented by the Tritiparte committee on minimum wage are with President Bola Tinubu.

The NLC president is in SWITZERLAND

Their have collected bride as usual


USELESS NLC leaders

Tinubu supporter stop ranting and let NLC don what's good for Nigerian workers .

We stand with NLC and trust they will make the right decision for Nigerian workers .

Russia is allegedly sending thousands of migrants and foreign students to fight alongside its troops in the war against Ukraine for visa renewal, reports Bloomberg.

According to the Business news platform, the assessment was done by some European officials who alleged that the Kremlin is doing so to add extra manpower using the tactics first deployed by the Wagner mercenary group.

The report added that Russia has been threatening not to extend the visas of African students and young workers unless they agree to join the military, according to officials familiar with the matter.

Moscow has also been enlisting convicts from its prisons while some Africans in Russia on work visas have been detained and forced to decide between deportation or fighting, one European official said. Some of those people had been able to bribe officials to stay in the country and still avoid military service, said the official, who, like other people cited, spoke on condition of anonymity.

Russia’s practice of sending migrants and students into battle under duress dates back to earlier in the war, another European official said. Those troops suffer especially high casualty rates because they are increasingly deployed in risky offensive maneuvers to protect more highly trained units, the official added.

A spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry didn’t respond to an email seeking comment.

According to reports citing Ukrainian intelligence, Russia has engaged in a global recruitment drive to enlist foreign mercenaries in at least 21 countries, including several nations in Africa. Army recruitment campaigns offer lucrative signing bonuses and salaries for those who’ll join up as contract soldiers. Recruiters have also targeted migrants and students who previously looked for employment in Russia, and in some cases have lured others over with promises of lucrative work before forcing them to train and deploy to the front.

Russia’s ability to mobilize far greater numbers of troops could become a significant factor in the war as President Vladimir Putin seeks to capitalize on a shift in momentum this year.

For now though, his forces have been grinding forward only slowly in northeastern Ukraine and suffering heavy losses, despite a shortage of troops and ammunition on the Ukrainian side.

The Russian military lost more than 1,200 people a day during May, according to the UK Ministry of Defence, its highest casualty rate of the war. Since the beginning of the invasion, Russia has seen some 500,000 personnel killed or wounded, the UK estimates. Bloomberg is unable to independently verify these figures.

At a meeting with foreign media in St. Petersburg late Wednesday, Putin appeared to imply that about 10,000 Russian troops a month are being killed or wounded and that Ukrainian losses are five times higher.

While the Kremlin has failed to achieve a breakthrough on the battlefield, it has stepped up a bombing campaign against Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city. Western officials say those attacks appear designed to make the city uninhabitable.

As he seeks to maintain public support in Russia, Putin has so far resisted a full-scale mobilisation and Russia says it has been able to make up a significant share of its losses — in terms of numbers if not the standard of the troops — through a voluntary recruitment drive that has attracted tens of thousands of people.

The government in Kathmandu said earlier this year that it is aware of about 400 young Nepali men who have been recruited by Russia but many more have likely signed up without the government knowing. India’s decision to stop recruiting Nepalese Gurkhas for its army, ending a 200-year-old tradition, may have encouraged Nepalis to look for work in Russia and elsewhere.


A senior Ukrainian official said they have seen an uptick in the number of foreign fighters among the prisoners Ukraine has captured on the battlefield. Africans and Nepalis have been particularly common, they said.

Some of Ukraine’s allies have been considering sharing what they know with the affected countries, another European official said.

Group of Seven nations, who will hold a leaders’ summit in Italy next week, have been trying to persuade countries from the so-called Global South to offer more support to Ukraine. But many of those nations have instead remained neutral, while their populations have been a focus for Moscow’s disinformation efforts.

Reuters reported last year that the mercenary group Wagner had recruited several African citizens as part of a drive to enlist convicts from Russian prisons for its forces in Ukraine. The news agency traced the story of three men from Tanzania, Zambia and the Ivory Coast.

There are 35,000-37,000 African students currently in Russia, according to Yevgeny Primakov head of Rossotrudnichestvo, an organization devoted to spreading knowledge about Russia abroad.

“Every year we sign up about 6,500 students from Africa to study in Russia for free,” he said on Thursday at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

Nice

Ok

There are too many "Alapa Ma'sise" in South west especially amongst the Youths today, so this anthem is rubbish.

All the federal allocations that Okezie Ikpeazu received in his 8 years as governor were over 2 N2trillion. What did the useless thieving man did with the money ?

Nice2023:
In one of his speeches,Alex Otti said,I will keep constructing roads until I finish my tenure.

He further said to those that were present,that there was money in Abia state and who said there is no money?

Alex is the best governor in Nigeria currently.

This is what Labour Party stands for , truth, justice and progress.

The PDP and his APC miscreants friends were stealing heavily from Abia state coffers till God Almighty sent Governor Alex Otti to expose them..

God bless Abia state

God bless Nigeria

Hard working governor

Carry Go! Second term is guaranteed 101%

Is the country moving forward or backward ? Because since the old national anthem was re-introduce to the country by the tinubu government , it has been one defeat to another to our super eagles of Nigeria .

When the super eagles played world cup qualifier against the south Africans that they didn't sing the old tinubu anthem, they got a point from the game. Today that the eagles played against the Benin republic nation that the eagles sang the Tinubu national anthem, the super eagles lost disgracefully to a low rated Benin republic. What a disgrace .

Abeg, is tinubu the devil sent from hell to destabilize this country ? Why is the country retrogressing under his watch?

It wasn't this under the buhari government . What's going on?

Every state should do same and leave "Nigeria we hail thee" for Tinubu and his mumu supporters

Tinubu useless supporters should stop spreading fake news on this platform

Propaganda won't stop the executive governor of Rivers state, fubara from dealing with wike and his loyalists if they mess up.

Fubara is in-charge .

He's gone

Why embarrass the man like that

BlakKluKluxKlan:
Trash as usual from the rabid children of hate, the global cri*m*nails.

Yea I guess Ramon (Hushpuppi) that's languishing in United states prison is a global saint 😂😂

To convince Lagos to be part of South Western region when regional government starts

Tinubu is the worse president Nigeria ever had
.he's heartless

jasent:
That money on the table is are 1 dollar note. This is how they deceive you people to believe they are making too much money

ATEAMS:

Them.fit reason him.o

It's legal in US

Let nobody blame the Labour union if they shut down the country again o..

Tinubu government is all out to make life unbearable for Nigerians but God will put him to shame

Let nobody blame the Labour and TUC union if they ground the economy again. Tinubu government should be blamed o

jmoore:
FG is already paying 30,000 minimum wage + 35,000 wage award = 65,000 naira.

Why the foolish offer? The starting proposal should have been 65,000 naira. But they love wasting time on things that need urgent attention.

Wage award that they stopped paying according to some federal workers?

Just dey play

At this point, The Labour Union should shut down the country let everybody stay at home . This government is just too wicked

The Federal Government has increased its offer of a new national minimum wage to N62,000, while organised labour has reduced its demand from N494,000 to N250,000.

This comes after the Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, submitted the cost implication of minimum wage to President Bola Tinubu.

A source confirmed this to our correspondent on Friday night in Abuja.

Details later…

This governors are very wicked

The federal government should pay N100,000 for a minimum wage to federal workers and make it a law that no state should pay below N85,000 minimum wage

Nigerians deserve the kind of leaders that they get walahi if not, why would a character like Tinubu be president of Nigeria hmm
