The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has announced that it will not be embarking on a strike action tomorrow, Tuesday, as previously speculated. The NLC President, Joe Ajaero, made this known during the ongoing International Labour Conference in Geneva, Switzerland. According to Ajaero, the decision to put the strike on hold is due to the fact that the proposed minimum wage figures are currently with the President.
Ajaero expressed optimism that the President will do the right thing and approve a reasonable minimum wage for Nigerian workers. He noted that the current proposal of N62,000 is a far cry from the N250,000 being demanded by labour, but expressed hope that the President will bridge the gap. The NLC President also took a swipe at state governors who are opposed to the decentralization of the minimum wage, stating that they should first decentralize their salaries and emoluments.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has confirmed that there will be no strike action tomorrow, Tuesday. This announcement has put to rest speculations that a strike was imminent. The Nigeria Labour Congress President, Joe Ajaero, made it clear that the union will not declare a strike at this time, as the proposed minimum wage figures are still with the President.

NLC: Figures with the President
The NLC President, Joe Ajaero, has revealed that the proposed minimum wage figures are currently with the President. This is a significant development in the ongoing minimum wage dispute. Ajaero expressed optimism that the President will approve a reasonable minimum wage, citing the example of the previous President who increased the minimum wage from N27,000 to N30,000.
The fact that the figures are with the President suggests that a decision is imminent. The Nigeria Labour Congress and Nigerian workers are eagerly awaiting the President’s decision, hoping that it will be in their favor. With the strike action put on hold, all eyes are now on the President to see what his decision will be.
NLC: Governors and Minimum Wage
The NLC President, Joe Ajaero, has taken a swipe at state governors who are opposed to the decentralization of the minimum wage. Ajaero argued that governors who are not contributing to the national purse and have low Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) should not be earning the same amount as governors whose states are generating billions of dollars. He cited the example of the Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki, who is paying a minimum wage of N70,000.
Ajaero’s statement has highlighted the disparity in the earnings of state governors and the need for a more equitable system. The Nigeria Labour Congress President’s call for the decentralization of salaries and emoluments for governors has also sparked a debate on the need for a more transparent and accountable system of governance.
NLC: Decentralization of Minimum Wage
The NLC President, Joe Ajaero, has called for the decentralization of the minimum wage, arguing that it is unfair for governors who are not contributing to the national purse to earn the same amount as those who are generating billions of dollars. Ajaero’s statement has sparked a debate on the need for a more equitable system of governance.
The decentralization of the minimum wage is a controversial issue that has been debated by stakeholders. While some argue that it will lead to a more equitable system, others believe that it will create more problems than it solves. The NLC President’s call for decentralization has added a new dimension to the ongoing minimum wage dispute.

The NLC President, Joe Ajaero, has expressed optimism that the President will approve a reasonable minimum wage. With the strike action put on hold, all eyes are now on the President to see what his decision will be.
The President’s decision will have far-reaching implications for Nigerian workers and the economy. A reasonable minimum wage will be a welcome development for workers who have been struggling to make ends meet.
