THE chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress, Kogi State chapter, Comrade Onuh Edoka, has charged workers in the state to remain resolute as the state government has set up machinery to tackle all issues surrounding the payment of minimum wage in the state
Edoka gave the charge recently during the seventh Quadrennial state delegates conference of the Medical and Health Workers Union of Nigeria (MHWUN), Kogi State chapter.
Speaking to newsmen during the congress, he urged civil servants in the state to expect a better deal from the state government, saying that the congress is still negotiating with the government and hopeful of getting the desired result at the end of the negotiations.
He said “The state government has set up a committee to look into the payment of 30,000 naira minimum wage to workers of the state.
“We are hoping that by the end of the thirty days the government gave to the committee expire, they will come out with a chat that will be the true position of the minimum wage in Kogi state and we are expecting a win-win situation.”
