Twenty-four hours after an ultimatum from Organised Labour, Nigeria’s Federal Government says it is commited to implementing agreements reached with the labour unions.
At a media briefing, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Nkeruika Onyejeocha, responded to issues raised by Labour. At stake is a 16-point agreement reached in October between government and the unions.
The Minister says the agreement is already being implemented in phases and that the government has concluded arrangements to roll out about 11,500 vehicles powered by compressed natural gas in the coming months. in addition, she says the N35,000 minimum wage is currently being implemented.
Onyejeocha acknowledged the difficulties being experienced by workers and indicated that government is always ready to dialogue with the Unions to address their concerns.
In her words, the country cannot afford yet another nationwide strike which will result in the shutting down of the economy.
