(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The organised labour has rejected the partial implementation of the minimum wage by Kwara Government.
The unions comprised the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and Joint Negotiating Council (JNC).
They criticised the planned partial implementation of minimum wage for workers on Grade Levels one to six by the state government.
The NLC Chairman in Kwara, Mr Aliyu Issa-Ore and other labour leaders, told newsmen in Ilorin on Tuesday that the state government had violated Labour law with the implementation carried out without a signed agreement with the labour movement.
He recalled that the state government informed them that it could only pay officials between levels one to six when it met recently with Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
