Minimum wage: Labour, govs talk tough, fresh crisis over negotiation

The Nigeria Labour Congress and the Nigeria Governors’ Forum on Sunday strongly disagreed over specific salary adjustments being sought by workers on the new National Minimum Wage.

The NLC, in a letter to its state councils, said there was no going back on its demand for the consequential adjustment of salaries as a result of the new minimum.

The congress, therefore, directed its state councils to prepare for a nationwide strike starting from October 16, 2019.

But the Chairman of the NGF, Dr Kayode Fayemi, said any strike by labour would be an exercise in futility as the country could not meet the specific demands of the organised labour on consequential adjustments of salaries.

After the first phase of negotiations collapsed due to percentage differences between the two parties, the Federal Government negotiating team and the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council will meet again on Tuesday (tomorrow).

The JNPSNC is representing labour unions in the negotiation for the implementation of the new minimum wage.

Labour is demanding 29 per cent salary increase for officers on salary grade level 07 to 14 and 24 per cent adjustment for officers on salary grade level 15 to 17. However, the FG had presented a proposal of 11 per cent salary increase for officers on grade level 07 to 14 and 6.5 per cent adjustment for workers on grade level 15 to 17.

Labour in a joint communiqué issued at the end of a meeting of the union leaders in Abuja recently said it would not guarantee industrial peace if the Federal Government failed to hold a meeting with it and accept its demand on the consequential salary adjustment before the close of work October 16.

The warning prompted the Federal Government to call a meeting of all stakeholders on Wednesday with the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, presiding. At the meeting, all the parties agreed to meet again on October 15 in Abuja.

Also present at the Wednesday meeting were the Minister of Finance, Budget and Planning, Hajia Zainab Ahmed; Minister of State for Finance, Budget and Planning, Clement Agba; Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo (SAN); the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Dr Folashade Yemi- Esan, Director General, Budget Office of the Federation, Ben Akabueze, acting Chairman, National Salaries Income and Wages Commission, Ekpo Nta, and the Accountant General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris.
