Labour Union Takes Protest to Presidential Villa Over New Minimum Wage

By Farouk Mohammed

The organised labour union on Tuesday invaded the presidential villa, Abuja in protest of an immediate implementation of what it agreed with the government as the new minimum wage.

The protest led by TUC president, Bobboi Kagama, was tagged ‘National day of mourning.’

Kaigama speaking insisted that the labour union will not leave the Villa until the governors and executive committee on New minimum wage led by the vice, president Yemi Osinbajo respond positively to their demands.

They wondered why the governors would not pass the agreed new minimum wage, insisting that the increment will not lead to any form of inflation.

Kaigama also said the Organised Labour would vote for any candidate who was interested in the welfare of workers.

Kaigama vowed that members would ensure that their Permanent Voters Cards, PVCs, used “seriously” in 2019.

He said, “In 2019, we will take our PVCs very seriously.

“Any governor or presidential candidate who is not interested in the welfare of workers and labour will not be voted for.”
