The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has set a December 1, 2024, deadline for state governments to implement the recently approved N70,000 minimum wage.

This ultimatum, announced in a statement following the NLC’s National Executive Council meeting, also criticized fuel marketers for allegedly inflating petrol prices, claiming these hikes exploit Nigerians amid rising economic hardship.

The NLC’s communique urged workers in states yet to adopt the new wage to prepare for an indefinite strike beginning December 1 if the mandate remains unmet. It emphasized the need to address policies contributing to economic strain and called for policy changes to mitigate poverty.

Despite a presidential approval in July for the wage increase, adoption across states has been slow, though over 20 states have pledged compliance. However, the NLC cautioned it would take action in any state not honoring the new minimum wage by the end of November.

Beyond wages, the NLC raised concerns about petrol prices, alleging that “fat cats” in the industry were padding costs, inflating prices beyond actual market values. It also pressed for the reactivation of local refineries, including those in Port Harcourt, Warri, and Kaduna, to help stabilize the domestic fuel market and protect citizens.

As the deadline approaches, the NLC’s stand underscores its commitment to protecting workers’ rights and alleviating financial hardships for Nigerians.
