The president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade JOE AJAERO has warned against a recent decision of members of the National Assembly to remove Wage from the Exclusive legislative list to the Concurrent list.

Comrade AJAERO gave the warning while addressing participants at the opening ceremony of the 2024 annual Rain School of the NLC, holding in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state capital.

He also warned that if National Assembly members came up with such a Law which would now allow each state governor to determine the minimum wage to pay, labour would stop movements in the country for one month. 

The NLC President who stressed that the time has come when the Federal Lawmakers and governors should be subjected to collecting minimum wage, wondered why Nigerian leaders were bent on cheating workers, even amid the current hardship they are facing.
