The organised labour has dismissed insinuations that the Federal Government was not sincere enough to implement the new minimum wage of N30,000.

The President-General of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Mr Bobboi Kaigama, spoke on Monday in Akure during the fifth Triennial Delegates’ Conference of the Ondo State chapter of the union where Com. Helen Odofin emerged the new State Chairman.

Kaigama insisted that the new minimum wage as approved by President Muhammadu Buhari was not a scam, NAN reports.

Other newly elected officers included Clement Fatuase – Vice Chairman; Soladoye Ekundayo -Ex-officio; Dayo Adebiyi -State Secretary; Tope Akinsola – Asst Sec; Taimiyu Olufemi – Treasurer.

Others are Ikechukwu Nneke – Fin Sec; Femi Owolabi -PRO; Olusegun Akinbolasere – Auditor I.

Swearing-in the new officers, Kaigama who was represented by the Secretary-General of TUC, Mr Musa Lawal, noted that a presidential technical committee to work out new salary templates had been set up and expected to submit its report next week.

Kaigama explained that labour unions and their leaders were not doing enough.

“We are not sleeping, the battle for the minimum wage is very straight and we are not sleeping on it, what we are currently doing is to create a template.

“And that is why we are trying to appeal to those that are receiving more than N30,000, is not something you do by magic, it’s technical and that is why we (government and labour) set-up (Presidential) technical committee to look into the matter.

“We don’t believe government can scam the workers because I believe in the welfarism of everybody and I don’t have doubt in President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration either to scam or not,” he said.

A senior Yahoo Boy

Be hopeful.

Maybe them go pay

All these stories aren't necessary. Nigerian workers will soon tell us by themselves whether government is paying or not.
Oga labour leader, you can not blame Nigerians for seeing it as a scam.

My people say when snake too bite people for one particular place, ordinary rope go make person run throway water.

This government needs to change its attitude towards the people.
Otherwise, even sincere moves would be perceived as pranks.

That's the next level of change that Nigeria stupidly signed for again. Should we still be talking about implementation at this stage if a government was half serious about it?

Buhari's Government is just playing on the intelligence of Nigerian workers the same way it does with ASUU which was promised #25 billion since February for arrears of their allowance, but is yet to be fulfilled.

Like ASUU like TUC/NLC. Their leaders are either both dumb or are also joining the Government to scam the workers.

Next level... We die here together!

May God save us from This Government

I blame Nigerians for this, at de stage, you should know what this useless government is up to. #18k sef had to pay, 33k na for dream. We are too gullible

Lol.. the administration was built on scam perhaps they are just realizing it.

Some can be foolish and unreasonable all in the name of opposition, they do they think before they insinuate nonsense? Do they know the implications of the Government going back on the minimum wage approval? Awon weyrey!

Salary work in Nigeria is the definition of man's inhumanity to man.
The only sure way is to hustle for capital to run your own business and pay yourself whatever and whenever you desire.

scam scammer scammest

Ok

TUC should tuck in their tail because this over hyped minimum wage, because of its amount, has no positive effect on the wages of the workers.

Majority of Nigerians are living in fear
This buhari is one of the most untrustworthy personalities that has become president
His inability to pacify and unify the Waring sides is just disturbing like he is enjoying it or what. His administration is closed there is lack of information and lies everytime like we are babies. Whata gwash.
