The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has declared that the new minimum wage recently signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari, was binding on all employers of labour in the country.
NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, said this while appearing as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Friday.
According to him, only employers whose workers are less than twenty five can be exempted from the monthly N30,000 salary payment.
He said, “Going forward, it is actually the implementation by employers of labour. All employers of labour, except those that are exempted, particularly those that are employing less than 25.
“So clearly in the implementation, what is expected now is for the Salaries and Wages Commission to issue a guideline and circular how various employers of labour can then key into the implementation,” he stated.
