Finally, good news has come the way of federal civil servants in Nigeria as the National salaries income and wages commission, last Friday, released the circular for the implementation of the new minimum wage. This has finally and finally confirmed that implications will begin without any delay. Congratulations Nigerians.

Kiddies up there, the president can assent to any bill from anywhere in the world. It's evident this particular one was assented to in UK.

Buhari is not on vacation but on a private visit which means he is still performing presidential duties except the ones he delegates to his VP.

You are absolutely right bro, but don't you think the president is abusing the powers of the office of the president?! One, he went to London with tax payers money, for a so-called"private visit". Two, he is gonna spend two (2) weeks just like dat spending tax payers money without recourse to the national assembly, cos I don't think he transmitted any letter to the effect that he is going on a two week vacation. I'm not saying he doesn't have a right to go on a vacation/visit. The question is: Was due process followed? If it wasn't, too bad cos I cant imagine walking out of my employers for two weeks without permission, without permission.

I don't want to believe Femi did not do anything at all. He must have done one or two things; remember he (Femi) is human; there is a limit to the help he can give. As a Christian, i dont pray for the dead, but i will use this experience to better my life in terms of preparing to meet my creator.

Dvin:
But were you paid the arrears?

of course he wouldn't be paid any arrears because allowee was not increased during his time. I think what happened during his time was the spread of fake news that allowee will be increased. This one now is definitely genuine because all the modalities, (for increase) have been put in place, and actually completed! Only a doubting Thomas will not believe that allowee will be increased as soon as the implementation of the new minimum wage takes effect.

Tweetums:
hope we are going to receive new minimum wage?

yes. You will receive your first allowee (new) few days before camp finishes. But there will be no arrears for you.

STANNYGIRL:
Do we av to be in camp compulsorily on 5th.

no! Swearing in ceremony will take place on the 7th. You can come on the 6th. During my time, I had a friend, who came in two (2) days after swearing in!

We all know that. What we want to know is how much it is.

Thankfully, I just got info some minutes ago that the Federal Executive Council in its meeting today, Presided by Vice president Yemi Osinbanjo has gracefully approved that all outstanding arrears arising from the consequential adjustment in the new minimum wage (wef) April 18, be paid on or before 31/12/19. So for sure, not only will the new minimum wage be paid, arrears will be paid also.

As far as I am concerned, the art of governance is a continuous process, that is, administration is passed on to administration by different administrators, Administrators may come up with new policies or modify the existing ones, however, no government in its own capability is strong enough to set aside the "modus operandi" of government, especially that which is a law and which affect the fourth arm of government(civil service), the history of minimum wage and it's implementation dates back to the first republic, the Gowon government, shagari government, the Obasanjo government and the predecessor of the present regime, the Jonathan government,all passed into law the minimum wage and implemented the same, as from the day it became law. Specifically, the Jonathan regime, increased the national minimum wage from 7000 to 18000 as at March 2011, implementation began in July that same year with payment backdated to March 2011, that increment also affected Corp members as Corp member monthly allowance was increased to 18000(minimum wage) plus 10% of minimum wage as allowance ,thus totalling 19800 .
To this extent, I so much believe Nysc members will not only be paid 30000, but also received accumulated arrears as from April 2019 when the bill was assented to law.

You have not only spoken well, it also shows you are also knowledgeable. The originator of the question has also said we should state our source. Well let me tell the originator of the question that the minister of finance sometime in May, when she was giving a press conference on the new minimum wage and consequential adjustment in salaries, clearly stated that the Nysc members where also included in the new minimum wage. She said we are entitled to at least the new minimum wage; she said it could be more, but any increase on top of the 30K will depend on the consequential adjustment in salaries of GL 7-17, which has just been concluded, so we don't know how much they will add on top of the 30K until the Nysc states it. But I believe it should be btw 10-23% of the 30K. It should also be noted that the top up on the 30K is what the Federal govt calls "transportation allowance". For example, in 2011, when the Jonathan govt increased the minimum wage to 18K, the federal govt put transportation allowance at 10% of 18K (1800) making the total allowance to be 19800. Another source that has confirmed that we will receive, at least, the new minimum wage is from the DG Nysc. He made the disclosure in Lagos when he visited the batch B stream ii orientation camp. Also, the immediate past special adviser to Mr President on national assembly matters (senate), Sen Ita Enang as well as Dr Chris Ngigie has also reiterated (@ different fora) governments resolve to pay Nysc members the new minimum wage. So don't worry, I'm very confident that implementation will begin this month (October). What govt is trying to do now (through the National Income Salaries and Wages Commission), is to compute the salaries of all those affected, and after that, a circular will be passed to all ministries, departments and agencies of govt. I believe that one no go pass one week. My biggest fear is the payment of the arrears. Although the ag. Head of the civil service has assured Labour that implementation will begin immediately, I was not to comfortable when she Said arrears will be paid, but she would not talk much about it. Even if arrears will be paid, it will not be at once; it will be paid maybe through 2-3 months. So definitely, NYSC members will get at least 30K

Nice grand piano in the first pix

Thank you. So the 2019 budget was a scam after all.

For your mind now, you have made sense. You are part of the reason why Nigeria is the way it is. I won’t waste my energy on an ignoramus like you.

Somebody that has head like you wrote this, read and have sense:

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/357861-planned-minimum-wage-strike-dead-on-arrival-labour-faction.html

Oga, I have more sense than you, no doubt about that. What you have written makes no sense absolutely! I'm sure you were there when Labour was collecting the shared largesse! These guys are struggling day and night to see that the wage is implemented and you are here writing nonsense cos you have small 200 naira to buy data. Guy, you know nothing about labour, govt and how they work. I would never reply you anymore cos it seems you are not an educated person. Go get some education bro

pulsitive:
There was never going to be a strike. They just want to share largesse from the borrowed funds

people like you are they very lazy type. You just want the strike to hold cos youq either do not want to go to work, or you just want strike. Don't you know that it was the threat of strike that made government adjust and increase its offer?! Do you know that labour has been very patient (since May). You just stay here and write rubbish

Ok

[quote author=festacman post=82959085]Who is Yerima Shettima? He has less than zero electoral value. Nobody is sure if he has PVC. Dude making noise to attract largese from Jagaban. He took money from Atiku and supported him against Bubu to no avail.[/quoted] Don't mind him. Nobody knows him o. He likes talking trash. He is one of the Nigerians that speak without thinking. These kind of people can divide Nigeria to gain their selfish interest.

Good day house, been a while. I guess you are all enjoying your little pensions and keeping body and soul together? Pls can someone confirm the tweet by the Ptad boss about our arrears not been captured in the 2019 budget? Its like she is saying we have to wait for it to be captured in the 2020 budget, or did I miss understand her?

Husband catching strategy....if u know u know

bad sharp guy. You surgy joor

Amalekki:
Rasheed Yekini is Nigeria's best scorer ever - club level and at the national team level. So why are you listing Kanu Nwankwo? No disrespect at all to the great Papillo Kanu and I'm sure even he himself won't disagree with this as he witnessed the reign of Yekini.

well said

Yekini should replace Kanu on that list. Kanu was not as prolific as Yekini at both club and country. Kanu played two world cups and two nations cups and scored no goal.

Aonkuuse:
northern states takes the highest in allocation? Base on hear say or your facts, or just propaganda?

the guy is technically right o. Allocations are based on some factors: One is population and the second is based on 13% derivation ( for oil producing states). Based on population, the North has it. If not for that 13% and other oil money, a state like Delta/ Bayelsa no go smell money wey Kaduna/ Katsina/Kano got take home
