NLC Reveals Date Nigerian Workers Will Receive Minimum Wage Including Arrears

News Update

THE Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President, Joe Ajaero, has confirmed that federal civil servants will receive their full minimum wage salaries including arrears by the end of October.

This follows a recent meeting between Organized Labour and the Federal Government, held at the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

The meeting focused on addressing rising costs of transportation, essential goods, food items, and petrol prices.

Among the key agreements reached, the federal government promised to pay all outstanding wage awards and arrears to workers.

Additionally, discussions will be held with state governors to ensure the full implementation of the new minimum wage of N70,000 across the country starting from October.

Ajaero reaffirmed this development during an interview with NTA, saying that the payments, including arrears, must be made by the end of the month.

However, individual agencies and parastatals may negotiate specific payment dates.

“The meeting we had was a meeting where we all agreed that they must pay by the end of this month, October including the Arrears.

“However, if they so decide to negotiate with their various agencies and parastatals on the specific dates to pay, they have liberty to do that,” Ajaero said.
