Adamu Garba, Vice Chairman of Nigeria Labour Congress in Gombe State, has warned that governors opposed to the new minimum wage will lose election for second term.
Garba gave the warning in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Gombe on Thursday.
He said: “Majority of governors that fail to implement the minimum wage may not come back for their second term. Instead they will be voted out of office, because of lack of political will.
“Many governorship aspirants are willing to implement the minimum wage if given the chance in their various states.”
He said that the state council of NLC would not compromise its resolve to ensure compliance with the directives of the National Secretariat on the strike, to press for a new national minimum wage for workers in the state.
Garba said: “All affiliates of NLC have been directed to comply fully with the nationwide strike. We have mobilised our members to ensure total compliance.’’
According to him, NLC has achieved more than 90 per cent on the implementation of 2011 minimum wage of N18, 000.
He was optimistic that the struggle would yield the anticipated victory for serving and retired civil servants.
