The Chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress, Enugu State Chapter, Comrade Fabian Nwigbo; Chairman, Trade Union Congress, Enugu State Chapter, Comrade Ben Asogwa; and Chairman, Joint Public Service Negotiating Council, Comrade Ezekiel Omeh, disclosed this in a joint statement on Tuesday in Enugu.
They acknowledged that the Enugu State Government paid the N80,000 minimum wage approved by the governor in the November salary.
The statement said: “However, the minimum wage paid did not reflect the consequential adjustments inherent in minimum wage implementation.
“As labour leaders, we have already communicated to His Excellency the observed discrepancies and in his usual magnanimity to the welfare of workers, we strongly believe that he will address this subsequently.
“Our confidence in the governor remains intact, considering his usual dispositions to the wellbeing of workers.”
The labour leaders added that they trust Mbah would address all the concerns regarding consequential adjustments in the implementation of the N80,000 minimum wage.
“So, we have not gone on strike. We do not also contemplate or foresee any strike in the near future because there is no need for that yet,” they added.
