The General Secretary of NLC, Dr. Peter Ozo-Eson told The Guardian yesterday in Abuja that the organised labour would attend tomorrow’s meeting. He also said labour had not decided to stage a nationwide strike, but rallies and protests across the 36 states and Abuja next week Tuesday. National minimum wage is prescribed by the Nigerian constitution.”According to him, “What the national minimum wage says is that there is a level below which all employers cannot pay. We started the struggle for a new minimum wage more than two years ago. So, if the government has dragged its feet for this long, labour cannot be blackmailed using that argument.
