\u2022Amid twists and turns on minimum wage<\/p>\n

By JIDE AJANI, DEPUTY EDITOR<\/p>\n

The leadership of the Nigeria Labour\u00a0 Congress, NLC, is already perfecting plans to tackle any state government which reneges on the agreement to honour the letters of the National Minimum Wage Act, 2011.<\/p>\n

This is coming at a time when feelers from some state governments suggest that there may be some form of difficulty in meeting the financial obligations tied to the Act.<\/p>\n

Sunday Vanguard was reliably informed by one of the leaders of the NLC who participated in last week\u2019s negotiations that \u201cwe already have information that some of the state governors are contemplating what we would not want to believe.<\/p>\n

\u201dWe held talks and negotiated and reached an agreement.\u00a0 We signed the agreement and it was accepted and acceptable to all concerned. And the nation was spared the agony and stress of a nationwide strike action.\u00a0 But\u00a0 what we are hearing now does not seem to be honorable\u201d, the high level NLC source said.<\/p>\n

Continuing, the source disclosed that \u201cwe in the NLC are already working out a plan of action to respond to any state government that refuses to honour the agreement that has been reached by\u00a0 all concerned.<\/p>\n

\u201dSome states may renege on the agreement but we have a response strategy.
\u201dWhat we\u2019ll do is simply to isolate some states where we discover that they are planning to play pranks.<\/p>\n

\u201dLabour would mobilize massively and compel those states to honour the agreement.<\/p>\n

\u201dIt would not be too difficult for us to handle such states because we would simply move with the full force of the labour movement to ensure that those states honour the agreement that we have all entered into\u201d.<\/p>\n

Asked whether labour can point at or name some states where there could be the possibility of dishonouring the agreement, the labour leader said it is not a matter \u201cof naming any state; it is about waiting for any of the the governors who would make the first false move.\u00a0 Then we would respond effectively.\u00a0 We are ready to mobilise at the earliest disobedience to the agreement\u201d.<\/p>\n
