MINIMUM WAGE PROTEST

Labour Party Family associates itself with the ongoing protest national wide against the removal of National Minimum Wage from the exclusive legislative list to the concurrent list.

The move of the National Assembly will further pauperise the workers who are already suffering from the high rate of inflation occasioned by the poor management of the economy.
Workers over the years are made to suffer and at the receiving end of every unfair government policies
Removing the minimum wage from the exclusive legislative list will bring about lack of wage uniformity in Nigeria. The process of collective bargaining and negotiations becomes cumberson, unrealistic and illusory.
Today we express shock and surprise at the numerous media reports of Labour party involvement in a merger talk
With other political parties or association.
We hereby make it abundantly clear that the leadership of our party is not and does not intend to merge with any political party.
Labour Party have a distinct ideology and programmes which can turn the fortunes of our country around. We intend to canvass for the support of Nigerians around our party programmes and ideology in order to capture power in 2023
