The Nigeria Labour Congress says it will postpone its planned strike action over the new national minimum wage till a final decision is taken by the Federal Government.
NLC President, Joe Ajaero, disclosed this at the ongoing International Labour Conference taking place in Geneva, Switzerland.
He stressed that the labour unions cannot declare strike now since the figures are with the President.
Ajaero explained that the proposals from the Tripartite Committee on the National Minimum Wage were awaiting the president’s decision, after which the NLC’s National Executive Council will thereafter convene to discuss the new figure once it is revealed.
Ajaero also slammed some state governors, who were opposed to the higher minimum wage for workers over their lack of financial capabilities.
He challenged them to justify their own salaries and other privileges.
