Kebbi NLC Renews Demand for Implementation of New Minimum Wage

The Kebbi State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has renewed its demand for the implementation of the new minimum wage of N30,000 per month. The union made this demand during a protest march held in Birnin Kebbi, the state capital, to press for the payment of the new wage.

According to the NLC chairman in Kebbi, Comrade Aliyu Suleiman, the union has been patient with the state government, but it is now time for the government to fulfill its promise to pay the new minimum wage. He stated that the union will not relent in its efforts until the government implements the new wage.

The protest march, which was attended by thousands of workers, was peaceful and was held in collaboration with other labour unions in the state. The protesters carried placards with inscriptions such as "Implement N30,000 minimum wage now" and "No to poverty wage".

The Kebbi State government had earlier agreed to pay the new minimum wage, but the union is yet to receive the payment. The union is calling on the government to fulfill its promise and pay the new wage to all workers in the state.

The demand for the implementation of the new minimum wage is not limited to Kebbi State alone, as many states in Nigeria are yet to implement the new wage. The federal government had earlier approved the new minimum wage, but the implementation has been slow due to various reasons.
