THE Trade Union Congress TUC, of Nigeria, on Thursday frowned at the non completion of negotiations on a new minimum wage and urged the Federal Government to fastrack action on that.
The TUC President, Comrade Festus Osifo, who made the call while briefing journalists after the National Executive Council, NEC, of the labour movement, ruled out the possibility of having a new minimum wage in place before the end of May.
TUC, also lamented that some states in the Niger Delta region that collect huge sums of money from the Federation Account, have not paid neither the wage awards nor palliatives to their workers, accusing Delta, Imo, Benue as the worst culprits.
Besides, TUC, noted with dismay that the Federal Government has not paid federal workers the wage award for the months of March and April this year and called for the immediate payment of the wage award to cushion the economic hardship.FG will stem irregular migration to Europe — Tinubu View pictures in App save up to 80% data.

President Bola Tinubu on Thursday said Nigeria’s high-grade lithium deposits can power the clean energy future of Europe and the world.
He also described Nigeria’s youthful demography with about 200 million population as “a massive market” for Dutch investors, advocating partnership between both nations to stem irregular migration.
“There is a tremendous opportunity between us across trade spheres but especially in solid minerals, where we have high-grade lithium deposits that we know can power the clean energy future of the world,”
Tinubu said when he met Prime Minister Mark Rutte of the Netherlands at his official residence, The Catshuis, in The Hague.
The President’s Spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, revealed this in a statement he signed Thursday titled ‘President Tinubu meets with Prime Minister Mark Rutte of Netherlands, details roadmap for enhanced trade opportunities across sectors.’
