FG Yet to Constitute Committee on New Minimum Wage - NLC

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has expressed concern over the delay by the Federal Government in constituting a committee to review the national minimum wage.

According to a report by The Punch, the NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, said on Tuesday that the government had yet to constitute the committee, despite the expiration of the deadline for the review of the minimum wage.

Wabba stated that the government had promised to constitute the committee in 2020, but the promise had not been fulfilled.

"We are still waiting for the government to constitute the committee on the new minimum wage. We had expected the committee to be set up in 2020, but it has not been done," Wabba said.

The NLC President also expressed concern over the impact of the delay on workers, saying that it was affecting their livelihoods.

"The delay is affecting the livelihoods of workers. We are calling on the government to take urgent action to constitute the committee and ensure that the new minimum wage is implemented," Wabba said.

The national minimum wage was last reviewed in 2011, and workers have been calling for a review to reflect the current economic realities.

The delay in constituting the committee has sparked concerns among workers, who are worried about the impact of the delay on their livelihoods.
