NLC said Tinubu said fuel will be #1000 per litre if they fight for #250, 000 minimum wage, so that was why they accepted #70, 000 do that pump price will not be increased...

How much is pump price in your area?
Has FGN started paying the minimum wage?

Hmmmm...

ganisucks:
It's glad to know that the news has been debunked. But it would be better if there's an official statement from the government or the ministry of foreign affairs.

I thought Tinubu had earlier recall all Ambassadors, so who named this one ambassador to Niger.

I am a winner and respect Bishop Oyedepo so much, but I think he missed it this time, this is trash he is saying at this time.

Even in the US, UK, Israel etc, they respect Government laws an they follow the rules, can he say this trash in UK and he is not fined?

His comments appear as pure rvbbish

May God heal the world, Amen

These countries you mentioned here will always do the right thing at the right time. They as well put their citizens priority first.... What of Nigeria?

There are indications that the full implementation of the N30,000  new minimum wage for civil servants may not take effect this month.

The Chairman of the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council, Abdrafiu Adeniji, told our correspondent exclusively that  despite  President Muhammadu Buhari signing the National  Minimum Wage Act into law in April, technicalities surrounding negotiation process might necessitate the first batch of salaries to be paid in arrears.

This came as the Secretary of the JNPSNC, Alade Lawal, warned  federal  and state governments against the burden of heavy arrears.

According to Adeniji, while the council is ready for negotiation,  the Federal Government has yet to come up with  the  salary table that will kick-start  negotiations.

He said, “Negotiation is a technical issue that must be handled well. We have to look at many indices. The government is expected to make its own preparations, specifying what it intends to add to salaries. Eight bodies will eventually meet to conclude the negotiations. If workers cannot get the new salary in May, there is always room for  payment of arrears.”

Lawal, who is coordinating negotiations on behalf of workers, warned government of the danger in delaying negotiations  with labour.

He recalled that the last negotiations  when the minimum wage was raised to N18,000 was poorly handled,  adding that  the JNPSNC would  negotiate the best deal for workers this time  round.

He said, “Now that the minimum wage has been signed into law, the next stage is for the government to open negotiations with the JNPSNC  on  the relativity and consequential adjustment in the new  salary. The minimum salary in the civil service before was 18,900 when the minimum wage was N18,000; you can pay higher but not lower. The only thing that has been agreed now is the new law which specified N30,000. But what we have not known is what salary workers from level one to level 17 will take home. “Government cannot just throw a figure at us by a fiat. We have written a letter to the Office of the Head of Service and copied the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Dr Chris Ngige, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and office of the Salaries, Income and Wages Commission to tell them to set up a body that will start the negotiations.

“On Thursday we sent a reminder to them. We have not heard anything concrete from the letter but we hope to put more pressure on government to ensure that the process is completed quickly. If you leave government at its pace, things might not be done as fast as expected.

It is only when that is done that Salaries, Income and Wages Commission will issue an enabling circular. After that we can talk of what workers will take home according to grade levels. We wonder what is delaying this.

“Workers are apprehensive. They are expecting increased salaries even though they may not fully understand the process. Government nonetheless need not drag the issue because the quantum arrears to be paid will be too heavy. We expect government  to do something in the next few days.”

Lawal added that the negotiating body  would be headed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, with the Head of Service, Ministry of Labour and Productivity, Salaries, Income and Wages Commission, Ministry of Finance, Budget Office, Accountant General Office and organised labour,  which will be represented by officials of the JNPSNC.

He said, “The last negotiation was bungled when  the minimum wage was raised to N18,000 because N900 was added to salaries  across board. We are trying to avoid that. We presented a table then with the financial cost being N55bn monthly but they said the money was too much. Those who handled the negotiation eventually agreed  on N11bn.

“The number of employees in the public service including  the security agencies, universities and polytechnic  then was around 950,000.They now shared the money  with  everyone  getting  N900 salary addition. That was the error at the time.

“We have already  presented  a table  to the government. We are not going to be rigid with the government  during  negotiations but we will not accept ridiculous relativity.”

Efforts made by  our correspondent to  reach  the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs Winifred Oyo-Ita, for comments were  unsuccessful.

A source at the office, who spoke on condition of  anonymity, said, “The Permanent Secretary is the one that handles all  meetings with  the JNPSNC. She handles labour issues. She is not around now. Secondly, the Head of Service is not around too. I do not know when they will be around.”

Asked if he was aware of a copy of the letter  submitted to the SGF office by the JNPSNC, the Director of Communication at the office, Willie Bassey, told our correspondent that he  was not aware of the  letter.
