The organised labour has dismissed insinuations that the Federal Government is not sincere to implement the thirty thousand naira new minimum wage.
The President General of the Trade Union Congress, TUC Bobboi Kaigama said this in Akure during the fifth Triennial Delegates’ Conference of the Ondo State chapter of the union where Helen Odofin emerged the new State Chairman.
Kaigama insisted that the new minimum wage as approved by President Muhammadu Buhari was not a scam.
Swearing-in the new officers, Kaigama who was represented by the Secretary-General of TUC, Musa Lawal noted that a presidential technical committee to work out new salary templates had been set up and expected to submit its report next week.
Kaigama explained that labour unions and their leaders were not sleeping.
The TUC President assured that organised labour were following developments at the committee to ensure workers were not shortchanged with the new minimum wage table.
