The Organised Labour has warned that states refusing to implement the federal government approved new minimum wage would be inviting serious unrest.

Nigeria Labour Congress spokesman, Benson Upah said that there are varying degrees of implementation across the country, pointing out that the consequential wage adjustment, which is the formula used to determine how much should be added to each worker’s wage, based on their cadre, is posing challenges in some instances.

The NLC urged state governments to take immediate action and fulfil their legal obligations, especially with rising costs of living and the recent fluctuations of exchange rates.
