Yobe State Government has finally constituted the committee for the negotiation and implementation of the new minimum wage.
In letter
with reference no GO/S/HOS/EST/5T.II dated January 13, 2020 conveyed the
approval of His Excellency Governor Mai Mala Buni for the appointment of the
committee members.
The ten man
committee according to the letter will be headed by the acting Head of the
Civil Service OF Yobe State, Mohammed Nura with the permanent secretaries of
Administration and General Services, budget and economic planning, local government
and chieftaincy affairs, justices/solicitor general and permanent secretary
establishment.
Other members
of the committee include, the state chairman of Nigeria Labour Congress(NLC),
Chairman Trade Union Congress(TUC) and Chairman Joint Public Service Negotiating
Council and Secretary of NLC.
The letter which was signed by the acting Head of
Service himself though did not state when the committee will commence work but however
instructed that members of the committee should consider the release as their
appointment to the committee.
ImpactOnlineNigeria recalled that Yobe State government is one the few states left without the
negotiation without a committee to negotiate the new minimum wage.
Today’s
development may have certainly brought some relief for the workers as they were
worried over the silence from both government and labour on the matter.
