Minimum Wage: Labour, States In Last-Minute Negotiations Ahead Of Monday Strike

184

The states that are yet to implement the N70,000 minimum wage for workers, are making last-minute moves to make sure the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) does not embark on strike on Monday, December 2.

They include Katsina, Cross River and Zamfara.

33 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have now complied with the 2024 National Minimum Wage Act.

Many states agreed to pay above the N70,000 starting point with Lagos and Rivers offering the highest pay with N85,000.

Lagos also announced that its workers could smile to the bank with up to N100,000 monthly from the first quarter of 2025.

Workers in Akwa Ibom, Enugu, Oyo and Niger will earn N80,000 while Delta and Ogun states approved N77,000.

Ebonyi, Osun, Benue and Kebbi states approved N75,000; Ondo, N73,000; Kogi and Kaduna, N72,000; Kano and Gombe, N71,000.

Abia, Adamawa, Anambra, Jigawa, Borno, Edo, Kwara, Nasarawa, Taraba, Ekiti, Bauchi, Yobe, Imo and Plateau states, as well as the Federal Capital Territory, all settled for N70,000.

But despite the NLC’s warnings, trio Katsina, Zamfara and Cross River have yet to implement the new wage, which could lead to a shutdown of activities in the affected states from Monday.
