The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) says it is ready to continue a national campaign aimed at securing a comprehensive review of Nigeria’s national minimum wage. NLC President Joe Ajaero makes the remarks in Abuja during events connected to labour and pensioners’ activities. Speaking after the commissioning of a facility named after Comrade Godwin Abumisi, Ajaero reiterates that discussions about workers’ welfare must include issues beyond wages. He also links the wage campaign to pension reform, indicating that the labour group intends to push for improved national minimum pension. Across the reports, the NLC frames its position as a commitment to sustained engagement that could involve broader industrial or political pressure if demands are not met. The outlets agree that the NLC’s stance is not limited to calling for talks, but includes readiness to mobilize for a “major national struggle” to achieve what it describes as a thorough wage review, while pairing this with pensions as part of workers’ overall welfare.
