NLC Urges Review of N70,000 Minimum Wage as Imo State Implements Increase
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has expressed concerns over the sustainability of the current national minimum wage of N70,000, citing galloping inflation and rising costs of living. Following several states' increases in minimum wage, the NLC is urging the federal government to urgently review the national minimum wage.
Notably, Imo State recently raised its minimum wage, with Governor Hope Uzodinma emphasizing the importance of improving workers' welfare. The NLC argues that the current minimum wage is no longer sufficient to meet essential needs.
The increase in minimum wage in Imo State is seen as a positive step towards enhancing workers' livelihoods.
