Factional leader of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, has stated that labour unions won't sign any agreement about minimum wage with the federal government that's unimplementable.

The factional labour leader said although his group proposed N90, 000, against N56, 000 by the Ayuba Wabba-led faction, government still had the prerogative to come up with its own proposal of the package it would be able to pay.

“If government comes out with its position, the labour movement can crosscheck and counter it, if necessary, before the agreement is signed,” Mr. Ajaero said.

On the new prices of petroleum products, Mr. Ajaero said only a properly constituted Board of the Petroleum Products Pricing and Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) had the prerogative to fix fuel price in the country

“The last time the Board of the PPPRA was reconstituted was four years. Therefore, even if organised Labour and Nigerians were to compel the government to reduce the N145 petrol price to N50 per litre, it would still be illegal,’’ he argued.

He called for the reconstitution of the Board within two weeks.
