Minimum wage: Ex-NLC chair chides former Kwara Gov’s spokesman for misrepresentation
The immediate past Chairman, Kwara State Council of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Aliyu Issa Ore, has berated the former Chief Press Secretary to the former Governor of the state, Mr Wahab Oba, over the claim that the state government is yet to accommodate local government workers in the N30,000 minimum wage cycle.
Ore noted that the ex-Governor’s spokesman clearly misrepresented him in his article titled “2023: Letter to Kwara Workers” in a desperate bid to drag him into collision course with the state government.
In a statement issued in Ilorin and titled “Stop twisting facts”, the former NLC Chairman recalled that at the 13th Quadrennial Delegates’ Conference of the state NLC, he reminded the state government of the outstanding demands of the organized labour, which contradicted the new dimension it took with the article credited to erstwhile Chief Press Secretary to the Governor.
Ore explained that Wahab Oba, who is now a Media Aide to the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Alhaji Shuaib Yaman Abdullahi, should desist from using the labour union to score cheap political points, adding that the state government had implemented N30,000 minimum wage at the local government level.
He also clarified that there was no time he accused the state government of stopping local government staff from rising to the position of Permanent Secretary in the state service.
