The Nigeria Labour Congress has stated that it is committed in 2024 to ensuring that a living wage becomes possible for all Nigerian workers.
The President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, conveyed this message in a New Year address to Nigerians on Sunday.
The NLC mentioned that it would engage the Federal Government to ensure that the agreements it reached with labour in the last negotiations, especially the October 2nd agreement, are implemented.
The Congress criticized the federal government for allowing its citizens to go hungry during the Yuletide season by denying them the benefit of their hard-earned December 2023 salary.
The statement said, “To this end, NLC will be committed in 2024 to ensuring that a living wage becomes possible for all Nigerian workers by working with others to secure a National Minimum Wage that approximates the dictates of the various parameters that make incomes humane and grant access to basic necessities of life for the average worker.
“We will recommit to building workplaces that guarantee the rights.
