New Minimum Wage To Be Announced In Coming Weeks - President Buhari (Read Full Speech)

https://news.assure.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/New-Minimum-Wage-To-Be-Announced-In-Coming-Weeks-President-Buhari-Read-Full-Speech.jpg

REMARKS BY PRESIDENT MUMHAMADU BUHARI ON THE OCCASION OF THE RECEIPT OF THE REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE TRIPARTITE COMMITTEE - TUESDAY, 6TH NOVEMBER, 2018

Protocols:

On 27th November 2017, I inaugurated the National Minimum Wage Committee with a mandate to recommend a new minimum wage for the workers of our country.

2. This exercise became necessary for many reasons. The last review took place in 2011. We all know since then, the prices of key consumables have increased and the most vulnerable of our workers are struggling to make ends meet.

3. Since 2011, many changes have taken place. Nigeria rebased its GDP to become the largest economy in Africa. We reported very strong GDP growth rates and exceptional performance of our capital markets. However, these reported successes did not flow into the pockets and homes of majority of Nigerians.

4. In the last three years, we focused on correcting this deficiency. We are working to create a diversified and inclusive economy.

5. We are pushing to clear pension arrears owed to our retired workers with the limited resources available to us.

6. We supported State Governments to pay workers salary. And of course, we set up a committee in order to review the minimum wage of workers.

7. In constituting this committee, we took into account the need for all stakeholders to be adequately represented - the government, the private sector and most importantly the workers. Our goal was to get an outcome that was consensual.

8. From the onset, we knew the committee had a difficult task ahead of it. But at the same time, we were also confident that the patriotic and professional background of its members would produce realistic, fair and implementable recommendations that will be considered by both the executive and legislative arms of government.

https://news.assure.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/New-Minimum-Wage-To-Be-Announced-In-Coming-Weeks-President-Buhari-Read-Full-Speech2.jpg

9. I am not surprised that the committee has worked for close to one year. I am also not surprised that on a few occasions, the debates got heated and sometimes, these differences came out.

10. What is truly inspiring is that, in almost all instances of disagreements, the committee members always came back to the negotiating table with a common goal of improving the welfare of Nigerian workers. On behalf of all Nigerians today, I want to thank you for your commitment and sacrifice in getting us to where we are today.

11. In the past few days, I have been receiving regular updates on your deliberations. And today, I am pleased that you have completed your work in a peaceful and non-confrontational manner. The entire nation is grateful to you all.

12. The Committee Chairman highlighted some of the challenges encountered during your deliberations, especially as it relates to having a consensus position acceptable by all parties.

13. I understand, on the government side, the concerns raised were around affordability - that today many states struggle to meet their existing salary requirements.

14. On the side of labour, the points raised focused on the need for any increase to be meaningful.

15. In a way, both arguments are valid. I want to assure you all that we will immediately put in place the necessary machinery that will close out these open areas. Our plan is to transmit the Executive Bill to the National Assembly for passage within the shortest possible time.

16. I am fully committed to having a new National Minimum Wage Act in the very near future.

17. Let me use this opportunity to recognise the leadership of the organized labour and private sector as well as representatives of State and Federal Governments for all your hard work. The fact that we are here today, is a notable achievement.

18. As the Executive Arm commences its review of your submission, we will continue to engage you all in closing any open areas presented in this report. I therefore would like to ask for your patience and understanding in the coming weeks.

19. May I therefore, employ workers and their leaders not to allow themselves to be used as political weapons.

Thank you and may God bless our country.

Kindly Ignore other reports on the new minimum wage

The Organised Labour has insisted on embarking on a nationwide strike over the non-implementation of N30, 000 as the new National Minimum Wage, in spite of the National Industrial Court ruling in Abuja.

Mr Ayuba Wabba, President, Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Abuja.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN) in Abuja has restrained the organised labour from proceeding on nationwide strike on Friday.

The nationwide strike by organised labour is scheduled to commence on Nov. 6 over the new National Minimum Wage for workers in the country. According to Wabba, we are not aware of any court ruling and we have not being served any notice.

“We have just concluded our joint organ meetings of the Central Working Committees of the Labour Centres of the NLC, Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the United Labour Congress (ULC) here in Lagos.

“The meeting is the final preparation for a full engagement with the government on the new National Minimum Wage and we have taken our decision to go on the strike. “Our decision is to go ahead with the nationwide strike unless the government does the needful,” he said.

Also, Mr Musa Lawal, TUC General Secretary, also told NAN said the centre was not was aware of any court ruling concerning the planned strike by organised labour.

“We are not aware because we have not been served any court order; we have taken our decision and we are going to stand by that,” he added.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) had issued a communique after its meeting claiming that state governors can only pay N22, 500, as the new national minimum wage. The organised labour has reiterated its position that any figure below N30, 000 would not be acceptable to labour.

Labour had earlier called on its members to mobilise in preparation for the commencement of an indefinite strike on Nov. 6, unless necessary steps are taken to adopt the recommendation of the Tripartite Committee.

https://news.assure.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Stockpile-Foodstuffs-Before-November-6-NLC-Tells-Nigerians.jpg

The National Industrial Court of Nigeria has ordered the organised labour, comprising the Nigerian Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress not to embark on its indefinite strike scheduled to commence on November 6.

Justice Sanusi Kado, on Friday, gave the order in a ruling on an ex parte application moved on behalf of the Federal Government by the Solicitor-General of the Federation and Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Justice, Mr. Dayo Apata.

Agreeing with Apata, Justice Kado ruled that if the strike is allowed it will lead to huge economic loss to both public and private institutions and may jeopardise the health of many Nigerians who would not be able to access health facilities during the period.

The organised labour had threatened to commence an indefinite strike action to press for the increase in the national minimum wage from the current N18,000.

Apart from the NLC and the TUC, the NGF is also joined as a defendant in the suit.

Justice Kado adjourned the matter till November 8 for the hearing of the motion on notice seeking the interlocutory injunction to stop the strike.

The judge ordered that the court order and other papers be filed on all the defendants.

FG Extends BRISIN Recruitment Deadline for application to Nov. 22 (from school certificate to PHD holders) Apply Now

https://recruitment.assure.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/brisin-job.jpg

The federal government has extended the deadline for the Basic Registry and Information System in Nigeria (BRISIN) recruitment application to November 22.

In a statement signed by Dr. Anthony Uwa, the Head of BRISIN implementation in Nigeria, it said the extension is to enable all intending applicants to register.

“The application was scheduled to last for six weeks – from Sept. 27 to Nov 8 – but due to some technical challenges beyond our control, the portal was short down for about two weeks within which applicants could not register.”

“We have decided to extend the application for another two weeks till Nov. 22 after which the screening exercise will commence immediately” he said.

According to him, “The essence of this recruitment is to enable all unemployed Nigerians to be captured on a centralised data base to ensure that all jobs created are verifiable. And it is also meant to reduce favouritisms in job selection.”

“Therefore, the extension of the deadline will enable all unemployed Nigerians to have the opportunity to be captured and be gainfully employed,” he said. BRISIN is an integrated system for the collection, storage and distribution of information to support the management of the economy.

The Agency also reports that the Federal Government plans to recruit 5000 unemployed Nigerians in the FCT in the pilot phase to drive the implementation of the scheme.
