In what appears to be an unending debate over the thirty thousand naira new minimum wage, the organised labour has again given governors of the 36 states up to December 31, 2019 to conclude consequential adjustment on salaries
This latest threat is coming is coming at a meeting of federal and states joint public service Negotiating council in abuja, one month, after the federal government and workers in federal employment concluded talks on september 18 for percentage increase on salaries
Although some states like kaduna have stated implementation of the new wage for levels seven to 14 without waiting for a proper consequential adjustment, the organised labour said the development is unacceptable
This meeting also expressed concerns that the issue of the new national minimum wage signed into law since april 18, 2019 has dragged for too long, creating huge backlog of arrears.
