Sat
July 16,2011
The 36 state governors under the aegis of Nigeria Governors
Forum (NGF) have bowed to workers’
demand and decided
to
move for the implementation of the N18, 000 new minimum
wage “without further
delay''
The NLC had served
notice of a three day
warning strike slated
for Wednesday July 20 .A full scale strike may follow if nothing
is done about the minimum wage, NLC said.
``On the issue of the new minimum wage, the forum resolved to
comply with the provisions of the Minimum Wage Act,’’ the
communique, read by Dr. Rotimi Amaechi, the forum's chairman and
Rivers State governor said.
The forum equally added
its voice to the Borno crisis by condemning the worsening
security situation in Borno State and the attendant loss of
lives and properties .The Forum
urged the leadership of the state to ``do everything
possible to curtail the situation''.
