The non-conclusion of negotiations for a new national minimum wage has drawn the ire of the Trade Union Congress Nigeria (TUC), urging the Federal Government to fastrack action on it.
The TUC President, Comrade Festus Osifo, said this while briefing journalists after the National Executive Council, NEC, of the labour movement, ruling out the possibility of having a new minimum wage in place before the end of May.
The union also lamented that some states in the Niger Delta region that collect huge sums of money from the Federation Account, have not paid neither the wage awards nor palliatives to their workers, accusing Delta, Imo, Benue as the worst culprits.
