Minimum wage act: NLC storms National Assembly with placards, protest songs
The leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) are currently leading thousands of workers to the National Assembly to protest against plans to amend the national minimum wage act.
Some of the protesters spotted by IDOMA VOICE correspondent via social media carried placards with inscriptions such as: “On National Minimum Wage We Stand,” “No To Minimum Wage on Concurrent List” and “Yes To Minimum Wage on Exclusive List.”
Shortly before proceeding to the NASS, NLC president, Comrade Ayuba Wabba addressed the workers.
According to him, minimum wage issues are not to be toyed with, insisting that workers who generate the wealth of the nation, deserve a fair minimum wage.
The protests are also taking place in Lagos and other cities of the federation.
The NLC instructed its members to embark on immediate industrial action following the failure of some state governors to start the payment of the new N30,000 minimum wage.
