 The National Labour Congress (NLC) says its December 1
deadline for all states to implement the new minimum wage still stands.

On July 29, 2024, President Bola Tinubu signed the minimum
wage bill into law.

 

The legislation increased the country’s minimum wage from
N30,000 to N70,000.

 

On November 11, NLC announced November 30th as the deadline
for all state governments to implement the new minimum wage for their workers.

The union ordered its members to embark on an indefinite
strike in states where the new minimum wage is yet to be implemented by the
deadline.

 

However, several states have signed the new minimum wage
scheme into effect. Over 30 governors have agreed to set the lowest monthly
salary for workers at N70,000 and above.

 

Zamfara, Sokoto, Cross Rivers, and Nasarawa, among others,
have yet to reach an agreement on improved payment for their workers.

 

Speaking on the deadline, Benson Upah, NLC spokesperson,
said “nothing has changed as per that directive” despite the majority of the
states implementing the new minimum wage.
