NLC Frowns at Governors Attempting to Hijack Minimum Wage Negotiations

The Nigeria Labour Congress – NLC has described state governors’ interference in the national minimum wage negotiation as unconstitutional.

The head of information and public affairs for the NLC, Comrade BENSON UPAH stated this in Abuja, explaining that the major issue in the minimum wage negotiation with the government is prioritisation and political will.

Comrade UPAH described the governors’ desire to take over the negotiation as completely irrational, warning that placing labour on the concurrent list could lead to a multiplication of laws, making it difficult for investors to navigate the legal landscape.

He also noted that there could be potential socioeconomic consequences if states were allowed to set their own minimum wages.
