NLC REITERATES COMMITMENT TO FIGHT FOR ACTUALIZATION OF NEW MINIMUM WAGE

The National President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Comrade Ayuba Wabba has called on workers not to lose hope on the actualization of the proposed minimum wage.
Comrade Wabba made the call at the National Delegates’ Conference of Amalgamated Union of Public Corporations, Civil Service Technical and Recreational Services Employees, AUPCTRE, in Ibadan, Oyo State.
He said NLC would not rest on its oars until the current minimum wage was reviewed upward and workers’ welfare ascertained.
In a remark, the Head of Service of the Federation, Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita, stressed the need for harmonious industrial environment for workers.
Represented by the Director, Office of the Head of Civil Service, Mr Abdulkarim Haruna, Mrs. Oyo-Ita said good industrial relation was vital to the success of government or economy since the execution of its policies largely depended on the workforce.
Earlier, the National President of AUPCTRE, Solomon Adelegan, said Nigerians and the union sought to end industrial backwardness, collapse of health and infrastructure decay.
He urged Federal Government to restore the payment of gratuity to pensioners in the public sector in recognition of services rendered.
