NLC commends FG over 40% salary increment for civil servants

By allcitynews.ng

The leadership of Nigeria Labour Congress [NLC] has commended Federal Government over the approval and implementation of 40 per cent salary increment, while it noted that the salary
award decision to public servants is surely a recognition of the extent to which its policies of last two years
have caused hyperinflation in the country and deeply eroded the real wages of Nigerian workers.

The President, Comrade Joe Ajaero who made this remark during the just concluded NLC National Administrative Council [NAC], meeting, pointed out that the union strongly condemn in unmistakable terms once again the meddlesome actions of some state Governors in the internal affairs of Congress especially during the last State Delegates’ Conference
of the NLC in all the States of the Federation.

In the same vein, Ajaero and his team warned all the state Councils of the Congress currently granting
phoney endorsements and awards to politicians and individuals to
desist forthwith to avoid disciplinary actions.

Similarly NAC promised to take immediate disciplinary action against all officers who are currently working with some state Governors to flagrantly defy the orders of the National Administrative Council (NAC) and the Central
Working Committee (CWC) as it concerns the outcome of the State
Delegates Conference.

Likewise, the umbrella union of Nigerian workers warned all state Council officers of the Congress who are in the habit
of colluding with Governors to cover their various atrocities against workers in their states to stop immediately or face severe sanctions. It is either they chose to serve workers and remain in office or become conduits for fleecing workers and leave. The choice is clear and its theirs.

Just as it directed all aggrieved parties in the last state Delegates Conference
to avail themselves of the statutory Conference Appeal Committee
in place at the headquarters for the purposes of redress where
necessary.

Also the NAC in session stated that it has started a constructive and selective engagement with the Federal
Ministry of Labour and Employment over its various interference in the internal affairs of the NLC contrary to the rules of our engagement as Social partners until satisfactory remedial steps are taken.

Furthermore, the union demanded a clean copy of the tripartite reviewed Laws Governing Labour administration in the country from the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment to verify its consistency with what was agreed.
