Oyebanji Pays New Minimum Wage to Ekiti Workers 

By Web News 418

By Oriola Afolabi

There was jubilation galore across Ministries, Departments, Agencies, Parastatals and local Governments as civil servants and political office holders in Ekiti State received  December salaries with the new minimum wage.

The civil servants, who could not hide their feelings, rolled out drums in large numbers with various songs to appreciate Governor Biodun Oyebanji for implementing the new minimum wage across the board.

Addressing the jubilant civil servants, the Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji appreciated the Federal Government led by President Bola Tinubu for graciously increasing the monthly allocation to the states across the federation.

Mr Oyebanji, who observed that President Tinubu’s administration reform agenda had begun to yield positive results, urged Nigerians to always support the federal government’s policies and programmes.

The governor, who believed in prayers, said that if the Government had more resources, the minimum wage would be increased to meet the current economic situation.

Mr Oyebanji, however, promised not to relent in his efforts to make life meaningful to the people at the grassroots, especially civil servants with a call on them to reciprocate the gesture by increasing their productivity.

Earlier, the Ekiti State Heads of Service, Dr Folakemi Olomojobi who led Permanent Secretaries, Executive Secretaries, General Managers and some union leaders to appreciate the Governor, promised their unflinching support to the present administration.

Represented by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information, Sesan Alabi, Dr Olomojobi emphasized the civil servant’s loyalty and commitment to the present administration.

The Head of Service observed that this would be the first time that minimum wage implementation would caught across all categories of those in service in the last twenty years.

NLC Affirms Objection to N48,000 New Minimum Wage Proposed By Govt.

By Web News 505

The Nigeria Labour Congress has warned that it would rather mobilise workers to remain at home with their families or offer free services than accept the paltry N48,000 new minimum wage being offered by the Federal Government when they meet on Tuesday.

The Deputy President of the NLC Political Commission, Prof. Theophilus Ndubuaku, disclosed this in an exclusive interview with The Punch on Sunday.

On Wednesday, the NLC and the Trade Union Congress had walked away from the negotiation table after the FG offered to pay N48,000, a figure far below the N615,00 the unions demanded as the new national minimum wage.

After the session, the labour leaders told newsmen at an emergency press conference that it was ‘an insult to the sensibilities of Nigerian workers.’

But 24 hours after the revolt, the Chairman of the Tripartite Committee on National Minimum Wage, Alhaji Bukar Goni, wrote the aggrieved unionists to return for another negotiation on Tuesday in a letter dated May 16.

But Ndubuaku vowed that the NLC won’t back down until an improved offer is made.

According to him, organised labour finds it preposterous that the FG and even state governors, whose allocations have witnessed a massive boost, could be giving excuses not to pay a robust minimum wage.

He said, “We have given the FG an ultimatum. If the new minimum wage is not out by the end of this month, we will all go and sit at home. Instead of us taking N48,000 per month, we will tell workers to work for free for the government or turn to artisans’ work. That is where we are now.

“I don’t understand the thinking of government. It looks to me like they do things without proper thought. Was the wage award supposed to be a palliative or what? We gave them the breakdown of what the minimum wage looks like.

“Even the National Bureau of Statistics has released a document that shows the average amount for foodstuffs. It is N900. This is even coming from a government agency. Does it mean this government is not in touch with its own agency before coming up with N48,000 as minimum wage? It is either they are living in denial or they just want to insult us.

“We are looking forward to a robust arrangement this Tuesday. We can’t be talking about Renewed Hope without putting up any road map or package to match the hope of the people. They also need to tell us what plan they have for food security, subsidy on transportation even if they have to use CNG buses and other issues like health insurance. By Tuesday, we will go back to see what will come out of it.”

New Minimum Wage: Ajaero Says NLC Yet to Adopt Position on Amount

By Web News 386

The Nigerian Labour Congress has distanced itself from the N500,000 being canvassed as the new minimum wage, saying it has yet to adopt a position on an amount to be presented to the tripartite committee on the new minimum wage for workers.

The President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, disclosed this in an interview with Punch correspondent in Yola, Adamawa State.

Speaking at the sidelines of the North-East zonal public hearing by the tripartite committee on national wage, Ajaero noted that the N500,000 and N700,000 being proposed as new minimum wage is unknown to the NLC.

According to him, all the figures flying around should be disregarded because the NLC as a body had yet to adopt a common presentation on the new minimum wage.

He said, “The N500,000, N700,000 you are hearing are being collated at the level of the states. In Lagos and other places, I think they are about N700,000 while in other places they are talking about N500,000 which are inputs collated from geopolitical zones.

“But the NLC secretariat has not made any presentation, these minimum figures are what is coming from the states. When we collate them then we’ll do a central presentation based on the raw materials we are getting from states.

“It (minimum wage) has to be relative to the cost of living in those states. You will agree with me that rent here is not as that in Abuja, and not the same thing as in Lagos. So relatively speaking you won’t have a straitjacket-like presentation by Labour in all the states.”

On his part, the Chairman of the Nigerian Medical Association, Adamawa State, Dr Solomon Bulus, said the Nigerian Medical and Dental Council backed the implementation of the N500,000 new minimum wage because it would drive down the hardship being experienced nationally.

FG, Labour Agree N35000 Provisional Wage Rise (Video: BAT independence speech)

By Web News 661

Federal Government has agreed to pay a provisional wage increase of N35,000 to all treasury-paid employees for a duration of six months.

This was the outcome of consultations between a Federal Government delegation and leadership representatives from the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) in Abuja on Sunday,

President Bola Tinubu had, during an independence day broadcast, announced a N25,000 increase.

However, this shows N10,000 added to the initial amount.

NLC had called for an indefinite strike for Tuesday, saying the government revoked the fuel subsidy without providing relief to cushion its effects.

However, during the discussions, the Federal Government reiterated its commitment to expediting the availability of compressed natural gas (CNG) buses to alleviate the hike in transportation and petrol fares.

Furthermore, the government pledged support for micro and small-scale enterprises and announced a six-month waiver on VAT for diesel.

Additionally, the government disclosed its plan to commence monthly payments of N75,000 to 15 million households, disbursed at N25,000 per month, starting from October through December 2023.

In a statement, the government emphasised its desire for industrial harmony, urging labour unions not to embark on strike actions.

It pointed out that the pending issues could only be effectively addressed while workers are actively engaged in their duties.

In response to the labour unions’ request for higher wage increments, a sub-committee will be established to outline the implementation details of all interventions aimed at mitigating the effects of fuel subsidy removal.

Addressing the longstanding matter involving the Road Transport Employees Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) and the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Lagos State was also highlighted as an urgent concern.

The statement, signed by the Minister of Information, Mallam Muhammad Idris, said the unions would review the government’s offer and consider suspending the planned strike action, allowing for further consultations on the implementation of the resolutions reached.

Governor Abdulrazak Abdulrahman of Kwara State and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), as well as Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State, participated virtually in the meeting, which was chaired by the Chief of Staff to the President, Dr. Femi Gbajabiamila.

Also present were the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun; the Minister of Labour and Employment, Simon Lalong; the Minister of State for Labour, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha; the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu; the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu; the Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, Doris Uzoka-Anite; the Head of Service of the Federation, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan; and the National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu.

The labour delegation was led by NLC President Joe Ajaero; Dr. Tommy Etim Okon, Deputy President of TUC; NLC General Secretary Emma Ugboaja; TUC General Secretary Nuhu Toro, among other representatives.

Proposed Amendment of Minimum Wage Law by House of Representatives

By Web News 661

Debate on removing minimum wage from exclusive to concurrent list is a major concern to workers in Nigeria as the issue of welfare, which often puts labour unions at loggerheads with government or employers in the private sector, appears to be at stake.

Members of the House of Representatives, who embarked on the debate hinged their argument on the inability of some states to pay the current national minimum wage of N30,000.

The Reps action drew the attention of Nigeria Labor Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC), which demanded that the lawmakers should kill the bill which had passed for second reading.

In the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended in 2010, item 34 on the Exclusive List place the obligation of prescribing a national minimum wage for the Federation and industrial arbitration on the Federal Government.

Other items in the cadre include labour, trade unions, industrial relations; conditions, safety and welfare of labour and industrial disputes.

What the House of Reps is seeking to do is to amend the 1999 Constitution to allow states determine minimum wage, and  perhaps the organized labour viewed their action as that of working in tandem with state governors.

In April 2019, President Muhammadu Buhari signed the current national minimum wage bill of thirty thousand naira into law, thus making the bill an Act of Parliament. 

By legislation implementation was expected to take effect 18th April 2019.

While federal government fulfilled its obligation in this regard, some states did not fully implement the wage regime, thus sparking the call by Nigeria Labour Congress for workers in affected states to down tool in February this year.

No doubt, the current move by the House of Representatives might further aggravate tension, and heightened industrial disputes in states where negotiations could still be ongoing to resolve wage bill.

Aside this, reports indicate that in Kogi, Abia, Imo and Benue which are the states within the radar of labour unions, there is still possibility of reaching an agreement on implementation of the national minimum wage.

Current economic challenges, soaring prices have culminated into lean purses for workers, thus creating more space for potential agitation for payment of minimum wage.

However, it is imperative to stress that the issue of inability to pay workers wage bill by some states is an indication of over dependence on the central government’s monthly allocation.

Another cogent factor is the apparent lack of willingness to address wastage and adopt prudent management of income from the federal level by shedding off bloated political appointees.

It has also become essential that governors raise internally generated revenues, IGR, in their domain by tapping into local resources to meet the obligation of the national minimum wage to workers.

Minimum wage bill will help devolution of powers – El-Rufai

By Web News 886

Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, says the new minimum wage bill sponsored by Garba Datti, representing Sabon Gari Federal Constituency in Kaduna, was a concrete step towards devolution of power in the country.

El-Rufai in a statement on Wednesday said decentralisation of the judiciary, police and labour matters are among the items recommended by the APC True Federalism Committee which he chaired.

He said this entailed moving the constitutional provisions of the matters wholly or partly from the exclusive list to the concurrent list, so that powers and responsibility over them can be devolved.

Minimum wage part of ILO Convention

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) had said it is aware of the forces behind the bill seeking to transfer minimum wage from the exclusive list to concurrent list.

The President, Ayuba Wabba, spoke at a meeting with the leadership of the House of Representatives on Tuesday in Abuja as the bill passed second reading on February 23.

He stated that the bill, if passed into law, would return Nigeria to slavery, arguing that the minimum wage was part of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Convention.

Wabba insisted Nigeria must respect the convention being an ILO member state.
