Organized Labour says it is ready to go to war with any Governor that fails to implement the thirty thousand naira minimum wage and the consequential adjustment that follows for workers in their States.
It would be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari signed the new minimum wage Act into law on April 18th, 2019.
The Federal Government and Organised Labour agreed to a 23.2 percent increase for workers on Level-seven and 20 percent for workers on Level-eight, while it agreed on 19 percent increase for workers on Level-nine.
Only five States: Kaduna, Kebbi, Lagos, Adamawa and Jigawa have commenced implementation and payment of the new wage after it was signed into law in April.
The Secretary-General of Trade Union Congress, TUC, Musa-Lawal Ozigi, said any Governor that fails to implement or show commitment before the Tuesday deadline would be considered to have declared war against Labour.
He added that said Organised Labour would decide on how to handle disobedient state governors who fail to implement the new wage at the end of the December 31 deadline.
