MINIMUM WAGE: You Dont Have Such Powers To Fix Salary and Wages - Ajaero To Council Of State

-

Mr Joe Ajaero, The President of the United Labour Congress (ULC), has said that the Council Of State does not have the power to fix salaries or wages.

He made this statement on a live TV programme following the Council of State approval of N27,000 as the new minimum wage for the country.

Mr Ajaero queried the powers of the CoS for such action, and maintained that the action was illegal. “What the Council of State has done is illegal. The Council of State doesn’t have powers to fix salaries and wages,” he said.

He further said that the council can only advise and not to make pronouncement of a figure to Nigerians, just as the Tripartite Committee had already submitted N30,000 to President Muhammadu Buhari which he says is supposed to be transmitted to the National Assembly today.

Minimum wage struggle, NLC moves to National Assembly

Mr Ajaero also questioned the rationale between the different payments for the state and federal workers, and maintained that the union will stick to the N30,000 which had been deliberated on. “This is the first time in history that there will be a discriminatory national wage, one for state and the other for federal.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, had on Tuesday disclosed that the Federal Government approved N30,000 for its workers.

BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM

One end time prophecy runs through my mind every time I travel to the airport, or pick up a newspaper and read the latest advance in information technology. "But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase" ( Daniel:12:4 ). Anyone who travels often has to marvel at the mass of people traveling to every corner of the world every day of the week. One meets all most the same congestion be it at airport or bus terminals. "Many shall run to and fro."
