The Nigeria Labour Congress has faulted the composition of the 37-Member Tripartite Committee On Minimum Wage.
The umbrella organisation of Nigerian workers said most Governors on the team were not paying minimum wage.
The President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, made the allegation when he appeared on a Channels Television programme: “Politics Today,” on Tuesday hours after Vice President Kashim Shettima inaugurated the 37-Member Tripartite Committee On Minimum Wage.
“The governors who are in full compliance with the minimum wage are not adequately represented.
“So whatever made the Federal Government bring in those who are not compliant or compliant in breaches to form the bulk of the membership of the minimum wage committee from the state government that will unfold with time.”
Asked to name states that have failed to implement the minimum wage, Ajaero said: “A state like Zamfara, I don’t know how much Borno and Bauchi are paying, there is a minimum wage law, which criminalises the non-compliance of the minimum wage.
“And the Nigerian state has not tried to enforce these laws.
“Others are just enforcing them in breaches.
“Take Anambra State, for instance, Anambra State pays N30,000 for the least paid.
“I challenge anybody from Anambra to prove that even a Permanent Secretary is earning up to N170,000 or N180,000.”
