Federal Government Progresses on Labour Agreements

The Federal Government has affirmed its commitment to implementing the agreements it entered into with organised labour concerning the general welfare of workers and other related issues. 

This was contained in a statement released by the Director of Information, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Segun Imohiosen, in Abuja.

Imohiosen disclosed that the Federal Government had reviewed the commitments made with organised labour at a meeting attended by the Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, and other dignitaries. He revealed that substantial progress had been made in the agreements, including the payment of four months from a six-month wage award promised to the organised labour.

He stated, "From the payment of a wage award of N35,000 for six months, the government had so far paid for four months up to Dec. 31, 2023. The remaining two months of January and February, 2024 are being processed."

Furthermore, Imohiosen mentioned that the Federal Government had also inaugurated a 37-member Minimum Wage Committee to review and propose an acceptable and sustainable minimum wage for Nigerian workers.

On the provision of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses and conversion kits, the director said the government had made substantial financial commitments. He stressed that the buses would be rolled out shortly to alleviate the transportation challenges being faced by Nigerians.

This development underscores the Federal Government's commitment to improving the welfare of workers and addressing the transportation challenges in the country.
