NLC gives govs Dec 1 ultimatum for minimum wage payment
By Fly Cable News
The Nigeria Labour Congress has given state governments an ultimatum of December 1, 2024, to implement the new minimum wage.
It also accused fuel marketers of inflating petrol prices, claiming the pump price is significantly higher than the actual market value.
The NLC contended that Nigerians were being exploited, with citizens enduring heightened suffering and hunger due to government policies which keep pushing many into destitution.
In a communique released on Sunday, following its National Executive Council meeting, the NLC highlighted the severe economic hardship across the country and called for an urgent review of policies it described as “anti-people.”
The NLC further directed state councils where the new minimum wage is not yet implemented to commence an indefinite strike starting December 1, 2024, in protest against the unaddressed labour issues.
