NLC To Resist Plan To Remove Minimum Wage From Exclusive List

Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) says it will resist any attempt by the National Assembly to remove labour matters, including the minimum wage, from the exclusive legislative list of the federal government to the concurrent list, where individual states would determine their workers’ wages.

NLC president, Comrade Joe Ajaero, issued the warning on Friday during the National Administrative Council (NAC) meeting of the Central Working Committee held in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, according to CHANNELS TV.

Describing the move as “an exercise in futility”, Ajaero argued that the issue of minimum wage was treated globally as a national matter in line with International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions, which regard member countries as entities, not sub-national units such as states.

He alleged that the plan by lawmakers was a calculated attempt to “bastardise” the national minimum wage structure and shift other labour-related responsibilities to the states, including the establishment of state industrial courts that would independently handle wage disputes — a move he said violates ILO principles.

“The National Assembly should not go into this exercise in futility unless members will also allow their respective states to determine their wages. “If they attempt to smuggle labour matters into the concurrent list, we will mobilise workers to protest against it, even up to election day,” he said.
