Nigeria Labour Congress Calls for Action on 2024 Minimum Wage Implementation | #NwokeukwuMascot

Abuja, Nigeria – The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has intensified efforts to ensure the implementation of the 2024 National Minimum Wage across all states of the federation. In a communiquĆ© addressed to all NLC affiliates and signed by the General Secretary, Comrade Emmanuel Ugboaja, the Congress called for urgent steps to enforce resolutions adopted by the National Executive Council (NEC) and the Central Working Committee (CWC).



The directive, issued during the NEC meeting on November 8, 2024, in Port Harcourt, instructed state councils to compel compliance in states that have not yet implemented the minimum wage as of the end of November 2024. The resolution was further reinforced during the CWC meeting in Kano on November 27, 2024.




Despite the nationwide directive, the NLC revealed that several states have failed to meet the implementation deadline, leaving workers in these states subject to outdated pay structures. States identified as non-compliant include Abia, Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi, Ekiti, Enugu, the Federal Capital Territory, Imo, Nasarawa, Kaduna, Katsina, Oyo, Sokoto, Yobe, and Zamfara.




The Congress criticized the lack of subsisting agreements or commitments from these states to commence implementation, describing the situation as unacceptable.




“We request that state councils in the affected states take all necessary actions to enforce compliance in line with NEC and CWC resolutions,” the NLC stated. Copies of state council communications are expected to be shared with the national body to facilitate effective mobilization.




This development comes amid growing concerns about the economic challenges facing workers, exacerbated by inflation and rising living costs. The NLC has reiterated its commitment to protecting workers’ rights and ensuring equitable treatment across all sectors.





The Congress ended its directive with the rallying call, “Injury to one is injury to all!”, emphasizing solidarity within the labor movement.




The 2024 National Minimum Wage Act was introduced to address disparities in workers’ earnings and improve living standards nationwide. However, delays in its implementation by some states have raised questions about political will and accountability.



The NLC’s demand for immediate action is expected to galvanize labor unions in the affected states as the Congress ramps up pressure to secure compliance.
