Despite the threat by the organised labour that it could not guarantee industrial peace if the Federal Government failed to meet its demand on the implementation of the new minimum wage by the close of work on October 16, 2019, the FG has yet to constitute a team to negotiate with the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, had on September 28, during a visit by labour leaders in Abuja said a new government team would replace the old one headed by the former Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs Winifred Oyo-Ita.

During the visit to the minister in Abuja, Ngige said he and other ministers in the former negotiating committee were unable to be part of the first phase of the negotiation because the cabinet was dissolved and permanent secretaries took the places of ministers in the team.

He said the former government team made appreciable progress and promised that the new team would reach an agreement with labour over the implementation of the new minimum wage.



However, more than a week after the assurance was made and about 10 days before labour executes its plan, a source at the Ministry of Labour and Employment told our correspondent on condition of anonymity that there was no sign the team would be constituted immediately.

The source said, “I am not aware that a new team will be constituted this week. The presidency is busy with budget presentation for now. Government has not constituted the committee. I have not heard anything and I don’t know when it will be reconstituted.”

When contacted the Director of Information at the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Willie Bassey, said a statement would be made after the team had been reconstituted.

Presidency is always so busy making unserious excuses whenever it comes to matters that concerns her working class subjects but they always make sure that Law makers (senators) do collect their monthly "Newspaper Allowance" , " Hardship allowance" and even " Wardrobe allowance"

Who did we actually offend in this country?

As big as Nigeria we are still debating about ordinary 30k as minimum wage, its a big shame, while the thief politicians collect millions seriously I don't know the generation that will see development in Nigeria

FG is slow as snail when it comes to something that will put smiles on the faces of her people but faster than cheetah when it comes to something that will make people cry...I don't think they think twice before closing border, arresting Sowore, military workforce which are meant for Police, SSS, e.t.c...I wept for my dear country

In all honesty we have never had a government in Nigeria as chameleonic as this.

Hahahahahaha minimum wage is hard for them ooo. Money wey no be their money ok when it comes to increasing their allowances, boom, they get so fast about it thunder scatter all of them there for Abuja and even this ones in Uyo!


See how difficult it is for this buns, our collective money oooo. 30,000 is still poor. Minimum wage should be 70k and that same money should go to even Reps and senators. We are all equal for God sake

Which federal government

Buhari is wicked. Ngige the dwarf is wicked. All government officials are wicked. What labour is demanding for is nothing compared to what these criminals take home. Not to talk of the lawmakers and their bogus allowances. They are all evil and deserv to be stoned to death. The annoying part is that some idiots here will be shouting sai baba, apc and pdp etc, while their parents are struggling to survive af 35 yrs of service.
