Ngige said this in Awka, the Anambra State capital, during an interactive session with journalists on Tuesday.
He explained that the various committees handling the minimum wage issue would soon come up with a solution.
Ngige said: “minimum wage is a constitutional issue and is in the exclusive list.
“The Nigerian workers are entitled to a review of their pay under the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“The various committees handling this matter are all working hard to realise the objective. Some are at the final stages of their work.”
The former Anambra Governor also noted that the minimum wage would be enforceable by workers in both private and public sectors.

DeleteWhere do you work?
DeleteI've never seen a regime where federal civil servants are not paid for months. This is the 3rd month. Last dispensation December salary would've been paid by 20th Max, now I've not seen Oct salary and his one is talking increment.
DeleteNo promotion arrears for the last promotion and I am due for another one this year ( which by the way for the first time no one is even sure when it's happening)
Everything is just upside down.
I regret this change, Aswear
Increase what!!! When there are still people who have not been paid in months. Who is fooling who?

ReplyDeleteWill the Labor minister and the present administration be able to keep the tandem inflation in check? What will be the real cost of living and quality of life for the average Naija after wages go up? Abeggi, make una swerve.
