The Zamfara State wing of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, has demanded implementation of the N30,000 minimum wage approved by the federal government.
This was contained in a communique jointly signed by the State Chairman of the congress, Sani Haliru and the Acting Secretary, Ahmad Abubakar after their State Executive Council meeting in Gusau, the State Capital.
According to the communiqué, the Union resolved to collectively comply with National Directives on strike for non-implementation of the New National Minimum wage if not properly engaged for discussion by the state government.
It, however, decried that the one hundred million naira offered by the State government for the implementation of N30, 000 minimum wage across board in all the payment points is too meager, claiming the projected amount is nothing to reckon with.
