Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State has approved the constitution of a tripartite committee to work out the consequential adjustment component for other categories of workers on the minimum wage.

In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the governor, Rafiu Ajakaye, he said that the committee comprises representatives from the state government, the labour centres, and the organised private sector.

The tripartite committee is chaired by the Head of Service and co-chaired by the Commissioner for Finance, while the Director (Establishment and Pension) is the Secretary.

Other members are the Commissioners for Budget & Planning, Works and Transports, Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Communications; Senior Adviser and Counsellor to the Governor; Permanent Secretaries (Finance, Service Welfare, Justice); and Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Labour Matters.

Apart from the Federal Controller on Labour and Employment, the Labour Party is represented on the committee by the Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, the Chairman of the Trade Union Congress, the Chairman of the Joint Negotiation Council (JNC), the Chairman of COHESU, and the Secretary of the JNC.

The private sector is represented by the Kwara Chamber of Commerce (KWACCIMA), the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, and the Nigerian Association of Small and Medium Enterprises.
