The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria has said the new N30, 000 minimum wage would give workers a sense of belonging.
TUC, in a statement, commended President Muhammadu Buhari for signing the N30, 000 minimum wage bill into law.
It will be recalled that the bill was passed by both chambers of the National Assembly in March.
The TUC President, Bobboi Kaigama, and Secretary General, Musa-Lawal Ozigi, said that the new wage would in no small measure give workers a sense of belonging.
It said that the organised labour appreciated the approval of the new wage,  but that its gains had been eroded by inflation as prices of commodities had gone up when employers had not commenced receiving the e new wage.
It called on the 9th Assembly to prevail on governors to pay workers their salaries and pension to pensioners as and when due to avoid crisis in the industrial sector.
