MINIMUM WAGE: STRIKE BEGINS IN FIVE STATES AND FCT AS NEGOTIATIONS CONTINUE. (PHOTO).


 Minimum Wage: Strike Begins in Five States and FCT as Negotiations Continue


Workers in the Federal Capital Territory, Cross River, Nasarawa, Ebonyi, Kaduna, and Zamfara states are set to strike on Monday, December 2, due to the failure of state governments to implement the new N70,000 minimum wage.


Despite ongoing meetings between state implementation panels and labor leaders to prevent the strike, various state branches of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) have confirmed their intention to proceed with the industrial action.


The NLC’s FCT Council had previously instructed workers in the six Area Councils to begin an indefinite strike on December 1, pending further instructions. This follows a directive from the NLC leadership for workers in 14 states and the FCT to strike over the non-implementation of the new minimum wage.


NLC FCT Chairman, Stephen Knabayi, criticized the failure of Area Council leaders to address the wage issue despite receiving communications from the NLC on November 14.


In Nasarawa, the state NLC has also declared readiness for a strike due to the non-payment of the N70,000 wage, although an agreement had been reached for a N70,500 payment. The union is awaiting formal documentation to confirm the arrangement.


Kaduna State, however, has already started implementing the new wage, with the lowest-paid worker receiving N72,000 in November. Despite this, the state’s NLC chapter confirmed plans to proceed with the strike, citing unresolved issues, including demands for consequential adjustments to the wage.


Kaduna's government insists that it has fully complied with the National Minimum Wage Law by paying the required amount and is disputing the NLC's claims of non-compliance.
