Minimum wage: Katsina NLC sets December 31 deadline

Katsina state chairman of the Nigeria Labor Congress (NLC), Hussaini Hamisu, says the union expects the state government to fast track its negotiations with workers on the consequential adjustments arising from the signing into law of the new minimum wage.

He expressed hope that the joint committee negotiating between labour and the state government would work to beat the December deadline given by the national headquarters of the NLC.

Hamisu made the call at the Katsina state joint committee meeting for the implementation of the new minimum.

He commended the state government for giving them the opportunity to serve the state in that capacity.
