The Federal Government says it will meet with Organised Labour to prevent the threat of national industrial action over non transmission of the New National Minimum Wage bill to the National Assembly.

Sen. Chris Ngige, Minister of Labour and Employment, said the meeting is to nip in the bud the threat of strike by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) over the transmission of the New National Minimum Wage to the National Assembly.

“The Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen. Chris Ngige, is scheduled to hold a meeting with the Executives of the Organised Labour Union on Jan. 4, at the Minister’s Conference Room by 10:30 am prompt”, according to a statement by Mr Samuel Olowookere, the Director of Press in the ministry, on Wednesday in Abuja.

Recall that the National Executive Council (NEC) of the NLC had threatened to embark on a nationwide protest on Jan. 8.

The threat was to make the Federal Government to send the tripartite committee’s report on N30,000 minimum wage to the National Assembly.

The organised labour gave the ultimatum following President Muhammadu Buhari’s proposal to set up another committee to scrutinise the tripartite committee’s recommendation.

A statement attributed to Buhari had indicated that a “high powered technical committee” would be set up to devise ways to ensure that its implementation did not lead to an increase in borrowing.

This country is a joke. ASUU to resume negotiation with Federal Government on Monday, NLC to embark on strike on Tuesday. Paradventure ASUU collect money on Monday and suspend the strike. NLC will continue their own on Tuesday..... What a country..... Anyway, what is the guy below me saying?

They should embark on strike as that is the only language those rogues / politicians understands, Sorry for ASUU, they are on their own.
The mind is a Battle field, that determines how far and how happy one will go in life. depression, guilt , success ,failures all starts in the mind. A man is never a failure until he starts thinking he is, Guide your thoughts. As one thinks so he is, if the problem seem over bearing, talk to God. There is no situation he can't handle, there is no language and voice he do not hear. Depression leads to suicide, don't be depressed. There is hope for the living, always think positive,Rest on Djxgee.

What meeting again after the ones b4 nawa for the fake govt...NLC is just a baby why meet with them wen u already had ana agrrement...

NLC is ipob - corrinthians
Nlc is not a saint - sarrki
Python dance for NLC - python2,

Useless delay tactics.
Minimum wage that should have commenced since September is what they are still negotiating.

If it takes 100 yrs to learn madness, for how long will the madness be practised? ~ MKO

Na formality

After the meeting follows a brown envelope to the NLC delegates,after elections when the adjustment deal has been exhausted comes another irregular noise from NLC official for another envelope

This government is taking labour for granted.

I am sick of these... Why can't they pay N30k? When senators are earning 13M plus monthly?

Dominate Google page one with your business see results in my profile

I pray something good and POSITIVE comes out of it.

ALL na arrangy
Why must Labour wait till next week Tuesday before going on strike?

Meeting that won't yield any positive result

No more strike

Nigeria is crazy
Truth is that collectively we are going no where
Everybody must rise individually and fight for himself

In a sane country, Opposition parties in Nigeria don't need to campaign to oust this hungry and deadly blood suckers away from government

Some people in an attempt to secure thousands of acres of land for their kinsmen released mayhem on farmers in order to justify their demand
Do we need to tell people in Benue, Plateau, Kogi, Kwara, Nassarawa,not to Vote APC?

They voted for this party in 2015, they have experienced change beyond imagination, why shld we convince them again not to vote APC?
Let them vote for whatever they feel is right... Who will lose eventually and who is losing?

Somebody said Nigerian youths are lazy, shutdown our schools for the past two months with no remorse on a way forward, do we need to tell Nigeria undergraduates and educated, not to vote APC?

A lot of Nigerians lost jobs in 2016, 2017 due to a poor economic policy that led to recession, a lot of companies shutdown, rendering a lot of employed/underemployed youths jobless and hopeless, adding to the number of jobless youths increasing at an alarming rate. Do we need to convince these people not to vote Buhari again? Do we need to tell MAN note to choose APC?
NLC, ASUU, still need conviction on who to support?

Borno, Yobe, Zamfara is presently on fire, bandits, Boko Haram have destroyed virtually every good thing existing in those places, rendering many homeless, hopeless with a lot of our gallant soldiers killed, due to lack of weapons, inadequate funding and corruption by our service chiefs, yet the President has not taken any major step. What we hear now, is deployment of the Nigeria Army all over the country for elections. Anybody needs to tell the good people of Zamfara, Yobe, Borno, not to vote Buhari again?

Everybody shld go to the poll and choose their leader in 2019.. Whatever happens eventually, we accept it? Sell your vote to highest bidder, enjoy the moment.. But remember, their is a price to pay
Some of the prices we are paying for our indecision in 2015 includes:
Recession
Hunger
Inflation
Fuel hike
Insecurity
Kidnapping
Bandits
Fulani Herdsmen
Marginalization
Unemployment
Poor education
Bad governance
Harassment
Lawlessness
Unlawful detention
Nepotism
Corruption
Homelessness
Depression

Today, basic things in the market, are not affordable. Kerosene, gas, rice, beans etc are very expensive..

What was Buhari' contribution to the entertainment industry? Yet, secured their endorsement.
Where was Buhari in 2015 2016 2017, when we had fuel scarcity
Election year is around, suddenly scarcity disappeared
Where was Osinbajo in 2016, 2017 during recession when there was a crazy hunger, to distribute #10000, launch market Moni and house to house visitation?
Suddenly 2018 became the year of infrastructure. We did not need infrastructure in 2015, 16 or 17?

Go ahead and vote whatever you desire in 2019, but remember, There is a price to pay......

This government is taking labour for granted.

I See No Reason Why Labour Should Strike Nationwide Because We The Masses Will Suffer Not Union Leaders.If The Government Is Not Ready To Comply Then Let's Vote Him Out. That's My 1cent Advise

Useless president, useless Senators, Useless House Reps and useless governors.

N2.3bn just awarded to ex thiefs presidents who plunged Nigeria to this mess.

Just 30k less than $100 you cant approve.

Rubbish

They should do something about ASUU strike.

NLC suppose bone this meeting.

Fg go scam una again

THERE MUST BE STRIKE



FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK FG


IF SOUTHAFRICA CAN PAY N126,000 MINIMUM WAGE, NOTHING SHOULD STOP NIGERIA FROM PAYING AT LEAST 100K

Make una meet quick o

Better. I hope they come to an agreement. We don't need any labor strike right now in the beginning of 2019.



Anyway, if you want to learn how to attract money, check my signature.
