NLC to bring the issue of the delay in the constitution of Minimum Wage Committee by the Federal Government

  

   The Nigeria Labour Congress says it will bring the issue of the delay in the constitution of Minimum Wage Committee by the Federal Government to the attention of workers during the next meeting of its National Executive Committee.

   The General Secretary of the NLC, Dr Peter Ozo-Eson, who disclosed this in an interview with  newsmen yesterday, did not give a specific date for the next meeting but said it would hold soon.

  Ozo-Eson said the NLC had complained repeatedly that the constitution of the committee to commence the process for the negotiation for the new minimum wage for workers was being delayed without cause.

  It would be recalled that the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, had said on July 6, 2017 that the Federal Government would constitute the Minimum Wage Committee before the end of July.
