Date: 2013-06-15

President of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, Peter Esele, has criticized some northern governors for not implementing the N18,000 agreed minimum wage. This he claimed has been responsible for loss of manpower during strike.

Esele while speaking at a workshop and Labour Day awards organized by Daily Independent Newspaper in Ilorin, noted that no labour union in the world likes organizing strike to make demands adding that the requirement to organise such industrial action are too stressful.

He claimed that only two-third of Governors have implemented the agreed minimum wage with some governors in the north still adamant on not paying the money.

Mr emphasised that the Governor of Plateau state, led the pack in the north.

The labour leader added that if governments at all levels do the right thing by respecting and implementing agreements reached with labour unions, there will be harmony in labour circles.

The Kwara state governor represented by his Special Assistant on Media, Dr Muideen Akorede at the occasion assured of the readiness of the state government to sustain industrial harmony adding that Kwara is one of the first to implement the minimum wage in the country.
