Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has debunked claims by the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Kaduna State Chapter that he has not implemented the national minimum wage.
IgbereTV recalls that the Kaduna State Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, in a statement dated 28th November 2024, and signed by its Secretary, Gado Hussaini Titus, had accused the state government of non-implementation of the 72,000 Naira minimum wage
But a statement by the Chief Press Secretary of the state, Malam Ibraheem Musa on Sunday, decried NLC’s lumping of Kaduna State with others, adding that it is a misrepresentation for the NLC to claim that the state has defaulted.
The statement described the report “as grossly unfair because the least paid worker received N72,000 as gross salary in the month of November.’’
“His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani, has complied with the spirit and letter of the National Minimum Wage Law, by paying the lowest paid civil servant N72,000 last month.
According to the statement, NLC is harping on the issue of consequential adjustment but the labour body should realise that there is a difference between salary increment and Minimum Wage
