N85,000 minimum wage unexpected — Lagos union reacts
The Lagos State Public Service Joint Negotiating Council has said the announcement of N85,000 minimum wage approval by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu was unexpected.
The council made this known in a statement signed by all chairpersons and secretaries of the union on Thursday.
They include Olusegun Balogun and Aladetan Abiodun, both representing the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, Lagos State Chapter.
NAN reports that Sanwo-Olu, during an interview on a television station, announced that his administration would pay workers a minimum wage of N85,000.
The union said that labour learnt of the N85,000 minimum wage approval through the mass media.
“To provide context, on Monday, October 16, 2024, at approximately 4 pm, the union received a call inviting us to a meeting to discuss the minimum wage.
“As a responsible representative of the workforce, we attended the meeting. However, we made it clear that formal discussions could not proceed in the absence of all relevant stakeholders.
“In line with best practices and in the spirit of social dialogue, we insisted that negotiations should be inclusive.
“As a result, the meeting was adjourned to October 21, 2024, at 10 am. The public announcement of any figure was, therefore, unexpected,” it said.
The union said, however, that its comments did not undermine the governor’s right to make public statements on governance matters.
