The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC have cautioned some Governors not to plunge Nigeria into a state of resentment, and impoverishment through wrong pieces of advice to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The Labour also reiterated that the position taken by Tinubu on the two proposals before him from the final report of the Tripartite Committee on the National Minimum Wage would determine its next line of action.
It will be recalled that while the government team and organized private sector had made an offer of 62,000 naira on the last day of the meeting of the tripartite committee on the new national minimum wage, while organized labour, demanded 250,000 naira.
Head of Information of the NLC, Benson Upah, said the two labour centres would subject whatever figure the President would submit to the National Assembly to the decision of the appropriate organs.
He also ruled out the option of rushing to strike immediately, explaining that it was not every problem that would be solved with strike, adding that strike was always the last option.
