NLC Declares January 8th Day Of Nationwide Protest To Demand New Minimum Wage

The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has designated
January 8th 2019 for the mother of all protest to demand a new minimum
wage. The labour unions reached this agreement after a national
executive council meeting which held in Abuja yesterday December 21st.

Recall that the labour unions and the government, both state and
Federal, have been at loggerheads. The union is demanding that the
wage be increased to N30, 000 but the state government insist they can
afford N22,500. 

NLC says the January 8th protest would be to express anger and dissatisfaction.

“The protest is to express anger and total dissatisfaction over the
delay by the federal government in transmitting, enacting and
implementing the new national minimum wage of N30,000. The
NEC-in-Session approved that the protests should hold in all state
capitals and the Federal Capital Territory Abuja on January 8, 2019. The
NEC mandates all industrial unions and state councils to fully mobilise
workers and coordinate with other labour unions for this mother-of-all
protest.” he said
