Minimum wage: NLC to resume strike, declares January 8th for nationwide protest

The labour unions reached this agreement after a national executive council meeting which held in Abuja yesterday December 21st.

Recall that the labour unions and the government, both state and Federal, have been at loggerheads. The union is demanding that the wage be increased to N30, 000 but the state government insist they can afford N22,500.

NLC says the January 8th protest would be to express anger and dissatisfaction.

“The protest is to express anger and total dissatisfaction over the delay by the federal government in transmitting, enacting and implementing the new national minimum wage of N30,000.
