The Organised Labour in Abia, comprising of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and Trade Union Congress (TUC) Tuesday handed over a notice of strike and 7 days ultimatum to the Abia State Government, ABSG over its inability to dialogue with the union’s over payment of the former N30,000 minimum wage and the N35,000 palliative wage award as approved by Federal Government since October 2023.

In the ultimatum dated 8th July 2024, reference number ORGL/ABS/VOL. II/02, captioned, “NOTICE OF STRIKE/FINAL SEVEN (7) DAYS ULTIMATUM”, and signed by Comrd Okoro gbonnaya, NLC State Chairman and Comrd Sir, Enogwe Ihechi, TUC State Chairman, Labour said, “Arising from the general meeting of the Organized Labour in the State on Monday 8” July 2024, to consider the fourteen (14) days ultimatum to government which has elapsed.

“It was noticed that the government has not deemed it necessary to dialogue with the Labour nor provide solution to the demands of the workers in our letter Ref. No. ORGL/ABS/VOL.II/001 see attached.

“In line with the National directives on non-compliance of Abia State government on the payment of the former N30,000 minimum wage and the N35,000 palliative wage award as approved by Federal Government since October 2023, the Organised Labour hereby issues this final seven (7) days ultimatum with effect from the day of the receipt of this letter, and state unequivocally, that at the expiration of this ultimatum on Sunday 0.00hrs, there shall be no further communication with the government, rather the entire workforce of Abia State will proceed on indefinite strike action beginning from Monday 15th July, 2024”.

When contacted, the Senior Special Assistant, SSA to Gov. Alex Otti, Ferdinand Ekeoma disclosed that the state government has at the time of this report engaged Labour in a meeting on how to resolve the matter.

The Minister of Works, Engineer Nweze David Umahi, has said that the first phase of work on the 1000km Sokoto-Badagry super highway project will be flagged off in Kebbi State by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in August.

While speaking at a stakeholders’s engagement on alignment for Sokoto and Kebbi states’ first and second phases of the highway at the Presidential Lodge in Birnin Kebbi, Umahi said work on the project would commence from the 258km section in the Kebbi axis.

The minister noted that the route of the highway was that of the oldest trans-Sahara trade which was initiated more than 48 years ago but not implemented until the coming of President Tinubu’s administration.

Speaking at the engagement, the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Atiku Bagudu, said, “The country is presently confronting its reality. Some of the economic policies of this administration are new, so the government needs understanding and support from the citizens to achieve its developmental and economic objectives.”

Governor Nasiru Idris, in his remarks, said the president had brought happiness to the people of Kebbi through the highway road project, adding that the project was a testimony of his belief in the aspirations of the people of Nigeria.

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) says two states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) contributed to the country’s capital importation in the first quarter (Q1) of 2024.

In a report on Monday titled ‘Nigeria Capital Importation Q1 2024,’ NBS said the country recorded $3.38 billion in foreign investments, up from $1.09 billion reported in Q4 2023.

This represents a 210 percent quarter-on-quarter increase.

On a year-on-year basis, the bureau said capital importation rose by 198.06 percent from $1.13 billion recorded in Q1 2023.

Also, according to the report, with over $2.78 billion recorded, Lagos accounted for 82 percent of the total foreign capital inflow into Nigeria.

FCT followed with $593.58 million and Ekiti recorded $12,750.

TheCable Index analysis showed that 34 states did not generate any foreign investment between January and March 2024.

Also, the NBS report showed that foreign portfolio investment (FPI) was the top source of capital importation with $2.08 billion, accounting for 61.48 percent, followed by other investments with $1.18 billion, accounting for 34.99 percent.

FDI recorded the least with $119.18 million (3.53 percent) in Q1 2024.

TheFreshVanilla:
Op, you're daft. What's your point exactly?

Labour should come up with a reasonable request around N100k. Even at that, it will take a lot of effort to convince state governments and private sector to accept such a proposal. Minimum wage is not just about the FG but about all employees of Labour in Nigeria.

Abia state is a Labour Party state. Still, the state is yet to start implementing the N30k minimum wage approved since 2019. How will Tinubu force states like Abia to pay N494k as minimum wage? So, it’s time for all parties to get serious and come up with something realistic.

helinues:
N70-N80k should be okay for now

After some months, FG should flush out the ghost workers and those with fake certificates. The money saved there would be added to the new minimum wage in a year or so
