Minister of labour and employment Senator Chris Ngige
while speaking during the recent submission of the report by
the technical committee, stated that the committee was set
up with a mandate to come up with a viable framework for
PMS price modulation and electricity tariff.
He said the committee was mandated to examine the two
policies respectively in relation to the demands of the
organised labour unions.
The February 22nd meeting is a continuation of the series of
meetings held in 2020 in a bid to persuade labour unions not
to embark on industrial action over the increase in the price
of petrol and electricity.
The minister said that the adjournment was to enable the
representatives of organised labour subject the report to the
analysis of their various organs.
“The Committee on Petroleum Pricing has finished its work
and sent in the report. We have received and adopted the
report,” he stressed.
Ngige also noted that the report of the technical committee
on electricity tariff would be ready in a week’s time, and
would also be reviewed alongside that of petroleum pricing
on February 22, when the meeting would reconvene.
In his remark, NLC president Comrade Ayuba Wabba said
that organised labour needed to do a broader consultation
to come up with clear positions on what would be beneficial
to both the Nigerian workers, and all Nigerians.
Wabba noted that the issues at stake touched on the life of
every Nigerian.
According to Wabba, ”The whole essence of what we are
arguing about is how to bring not only the price stability but
also affordability.”
