The Federal Government (FG), has stated that the Nigerian Labour Congress  cannot fix a figure to be paid for Federal Government as Minimum wage. 

Minister of Labour, Dr. Chris Ngige, who said this when the new Director-General of Nigeria Employers Consultative Association, NECA, Timothy Olawale, visited his office on Friday in Abuja, called on Organised Labour to accept the new minimum wage proposal, considering the capacity and ability of the government and the private sector to pay.

Recall that the Labour Minister before now, said that the Federal Government had offered to pay N24, 000 to the workers. However the labour leaders who were threatening to call out workers for full strike over the minimum wage issue countered his claims, saying that N30, 000 was the amount agreed on by the committee saddled with the responsibility.

However in his meeting with NECA DG, Chris Ngige said it was imperative for organised labour to accept the proposed figure, instead of the N30, 000 in line with social dialogue and the overall interest of the nation.

“We need to arrive at a figure, which the employers can afford to pay as an employee cannot fix a figure for the employer.

“Rather, it must be based on collective bargaining and mutual agreement by the tripartite partners.

“It is not a function of moving motions or voting at the National Tripartite Negotiation Committee to insist that the figure must be as the organised labour appears to make it look.

“There is, therefore, absolutely no need to heat up the polity,” he said.

Workers should be paid per hour. That has been the norms in other places.

$5 per hour is what you must pay in South Korea which is according to the constitution.

I wont say i'm surprised at Ngige's insensitivity cuz he has always been like that right from his time as governor of Anambra. I dont want to see Buhari and his useless ministers ever again. Can't wait for election to start so that they will be booted out of the office. Supported Buhari but he isn't different from the rest.

Did you consult Nigerians as your employee before increasing your own salary a d allowances

And that's why we will fix you in 2019.

this 'regime' continues to assault the sensibilities of sane Nigerians...


you are saying that everyone must be 'fully' involved & carried along before a minimum wage can be fixed & labour cannot dictate to FG

fine. agreed. but how many Nigerians did PMB carry along before he increased price of pms?

did the fg consult labour before it destroyed the exchange rate & made life a living hell for Nigerians?


well,as long as dumbos still sing the lifeless one's praise, he will continue to abuse Nigerians with his lifelessness...

Why don't you give this suggestion to our useless federal legislators who are perpetual absentees, and other useless politicians?

Jeez...

The Nigerian Government is so so useless, that they even try to brain wash you and make their uselessness look like something extraordinary.
