NLC Drags State Governors To ILO In Switzerland Over Non-payment Of Salary
Mr Ayuba Wabba, NLC president, presented a petition against the governors at ongoing 107th International Labour Conference (ILC) on Wednesday in Geneva, Switzerland, while speaking on issues affecting Nigeria workers. According to him, the complaint has been lodged and it will be taken up by the committee on Application of Standard where the issue will be referred.
He said, “NLC is currently engaged in tripartite minimum wage negotiation with the government and we will remain eternally vigilant to ensure that the process is successfully concluded. That is within the stipulated timeline by the Federal Government of Nigeria. We must be able to give voice to workers.
He added that some state governments were violating not only our national laws but also refusing to obey court orders with impunity. They are also violating our international conventions, which we signed as far back as 1960. At the end of the day, it is not the states that will be held responsible, but the country.
