The Governor of Kaduna State  Nasir Ahmad El rufai and a member of All Progressives Congress has hit hard on Pdp and NlC chairman for failure to implement minimum wage Acts that has been signed since 2019 by president Buhari 

"Father's of all hypocrites  Kaduna will wait for all the invisible PDP and affiliates like the hypocritical NLC that is yet to implement the national minimum wage Acts of 2019 for its employee

Though it seems it didn't go well with some people as Mansherry  of Ode_Remo said "Nna keep your respect for  Nnamdi Kalu and  IPOB ESN Terrorist 

On the 11th of may  National labor Congress has announced it's intention to embark on  strike on the failure of government to implement minimum wage.

The members have shared their grievances over the the delay of the Congress in implementing the minimum wage, 

President Muhammad Buhari signed the minimum wage Act in 2019 though the Act is yet to be implemented 

According to a source at paschal Bafyua labour house national secretariat Abuja said

"I can tell you with certainty that at the moment, we are not sure if Congress will implement the new minimum wage because we simply don’t understand what is going on. We are consulting at individual levels on what to do.

- Notice -
“Maybe, we will go on strike but I think the disposition of the staff union leadership is a major challenge. The staff union exco is not as active as a union is supposed to be; so if we don’t take a collective decision to confront the leadership, we may after all have to forget the new minimum wage,” said a source who pleaded anonymity as he is not authorised to speak on the matter.

The union leader has been contacted base on the idea NLC going on strike which he state that there wont be any need for strike on the bases that he has contacted the management and will soon be sorted out , he said 

"That is not true; there is no discussion as to going on strike. We have taken up the issue with the management on the need to implement the minimum wage for NLC staff and the management actually had also met at the level of the Establishment Committee and I am told that there was no objection to that and they have taken some steps to look at the financial implication and the possible commencement of implementation. They were supposed to meet before the unfortunate incident of the Congress Treasurer being involved in an accident.

“The idea of going on strike is actually not on the table at all. Yes, staff are agitating, but we have not discussed going on strike or taking any industrial action since we are aware that the management has taken it on. I can tell you in clear terms that the President is actually very keen on ensuring that the minimum wage is implemented for Congress staff and outstanding promotions are also ready,” Comrade James stated.

Though when asked if he was aware that the minimum wage implementation are usually implemented without delay once the president has signed the Act which supposedly the cause of the agitationamong their members ; Comrade James said: “Like I said, it is legitimate for staff to agitate for the implementation of the minimum wage. But the point that we are spurring to go on strike; I said that is not on the table. I can assure you that even the union has taken on, and has redressed, several measures to ensure that the minimum wage is implemented for staff.

“As you have also said, I am a longstanding staff of NLC, at least I have spent over 20 years in the NLC as a staff, I can also tell you that with some insight we have into the management of Congress; there is really the challenge of funds, most especially as unions are not responding very well; this is without holding on for the management anyway; but I can assure you that we are not relenting.

“We should also compare contemporary times with previous times, the NLC also has a huge burden in terms of expenses, having the number of staff increased, having some responsibilities that have increased the financial burden on the Congress. But like I said, we can’t relent until the minimum wage is implemented for us.

“One assurance we have continuously gotten from the management of Congress is that anytime it is implemented, we are going to get our arrears in full; that I know very well;” Comrade James said.
