The federal government has warned the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress, TUC, to continue negotiations and halted their plan to embark on a nationwide indefinite strike action starting Monday, June 3.

In a statement on Sunday, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, described the proposed industrial action as “premature, ineffectual and illegal.”

According to him, the agitation for increasing the minimum wage of workers in the country is currently being addressed. He added that the labour unions failed to fulfil the condition precedents that would enable them to embark on a strike action.

In a letter addressed to the two labour unions, the AGF noted that FG and other stakeholders involved in the Tripartite Committee on the determination of a new national minimum wage had not declared an end to negotiation.

He argued that because FG and State governments are not the only employers to be bound by a new national minimum wage, it was therefore “vital to balance the interest and capacity of all employers of labour in the country (inclusive of Organized Private Sector) to determine a minimum wage for the generality of the working population.”

Besides, the AGF noted that an order of the National Industrial Court, NIC, which barred the two labour unions from embarking on any strike action, is still extant as it has not been set aside.

He, therefore, urged the unions to reconsider their proposed strike action and return to the negotiation table.
