Nigerian Labour Congress Reaches Agreement with Federal Government on New Minimum Wage

on

The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Federal Government have successfully reached an agreement on a new minimum wage, following an extended meeting of the national committee on low wages. The meeting, which began at around 5:00 PM on Monday and concluded at approximately 11:00 PM, was described as pivotal in addressing the wage concerns of Nigerian workers.

Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, stated that the committee will convene daily for a week to further investigate and finalize the wage matter. Both the union and the federal government have signed an agreement reflecting the terms discussed during this initial meeting.

Although the specifics of the agreement have yet to be publicly disclosed, Daily Facts reported that the Nigerian government has agreed to set the minimum wage at over 60,000 Naira.

In a significant development for the country’s labour relations, it has been confirmed that no worker will face disciplinary action as a result of participating in the general strike initiated by the NLC on Monday. The strike, which aimed to press for better wages and working conditions, caused widespread disruption across Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa.

This agreement marks a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to improve the livelihoods of Nigerian workers, ensuring fair compensation and addressing the economic challenges faced by the labor force.

Further details of the agreement are expected to be released following the daily meetings of the national committee on low wages over the coming week.

Gombe State Unveils Monitoring and Evaluation Policy with UNICEF Support

Published

By Muhammad Jamil Abubakar

The Gombe State Government has taken a significant step towards improving governance and service delivery with the launch of a new Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Policy.

The policy was officially unveiled at a ceremony in Gombe, attended by state officials, United Nation Children’s Fund, UNICEF representatives, and various stakeholders from across the development sector.

Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, who presided over the launch, described the policy as a cornerstone of his administration’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and effective governance.

The Governor who was represented by his deputy Dr Manasseh Daniel Jatau, said the M&E policy will serve as a framework to track the progress and impact of all government projects and programs across the state.

The policy aims to establish a standardized system for assessing the implementation and outcomes of government initiatives in various sectors.

It mandates regular data collection, analysis, and reporting on key performance indicators for all state-funded projects.

Speaking at the event, the UNICEF’s Chief of Field Office for Bauchi, Dr. Nuzhat Rafique, commended the state government’s initiative for domesticating and launching the M&E policy documents assuring the State Government of UNICEF continued support for the implementation phase, including technical assistance and periodic review of the policy’s effectiveness.

Dr Nuzhat Rafique added that the introduction of the new policy demonstrates the state government’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and results-orientated governance.

The UNICEF’s Chief of Planning and Monitoring, Wayne Amago Bacale, explained that the policy will enable the government to track its progress in meeting the key priorities and results outlined in the state’s development plan, which aims for significant achievements by 2030.

As Gombe State Government embarks on this new approach to governance and development monitoring, many see it as a potential model for other states in the region.

The successful implementation of this policy could significantly enhance the impact of government and UNICEF-supported programs, ultimately benefiting the children and families of Gombe State.
