The Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, is listing the implementation of the N52,000 new minimum wage as well as tackling unemployment crisis in the country as two major areas where it will confront the federal government in 2017.
The congress in a new year message by its president, AyubaWabba, is also urging the Buhari led government to muster the necessary political will to deal with the challenge of the power sector, either reversal of the privatization of the sector or ensuring that those who run the sector provide electricity on regular basis and at rates consumer can afford.
He is warning that the NLC will continue its campaign to ensure that the incidence of non-payment of salaries as at when due, is no longer a feature of our national life.
On the urgent need for new national minimum wage, Wabbaassured that the NLC will in the New Year redouble its efforts, using all available means at their disposal to get the federal government to constitute the three-party panel to renegotiate a new minimum wage.
