NLC to govs: we will fight you to standstill on new minimum wage

Governors unwilling to pay the new Minimum Wage should be ready for a stand-off with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).

NLC President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba told such governors to be ready for serious confrontation with Organised Labour.

He vowed that workers were prepared to fight them to a standstill.

Wabba told the governors to remember that they swore an oath to abide by the laws of the land, adding that the national minimum wage issue is now a law which they must implement.

He said what happened to former Zamfara governor, Abdulaziz Yari and his political structure was a kind of punishment from God for subjecting workers in the state to untold hardship.
