Workers Day: New Minimum Wage Will Be Fully Implemented By My administration – Buhari.
President of the Trade Union Congress,Members of the Diplomatic Corps here present,I am delighted to be with you on this historic occasion marking the International Workers Day otherwise known as May Day which is also coming on the heels of the Centenary Celebration of the International Labour Organization . These two events have far-reaching significance for Workers in particular and the World of Work in general.
It is in recognition of this, that our Country chose its theme for this Year’s May Day Celebration as ‘’Another 100 Years of Struggle for Jobs, Dignity and Social Justice in Nigeria.’’ You may recall that at the attainment of independence in 1959, we became a Member of the International Labour Organization .
Pathfinder Countries are pioneer Countries of Alliance 8.7 who have decided to pull resources together and channel same towards the achievement of Target 8.7 of Sustainable Development Goals. We shall ask and request the ILO to support further. In addition, the ILO Conventions especially those ratified by our country had been useful in the formulation of our national labour legislation and policies that govern employment relations and good conduct of industrial relations in general.
Our Social Investment Programme …the largest of its kind in Africa, is one directed at ensuring that we are able to provide opportunities in both the formal and informal sectors of the economy. Indeed the largest numbers of Nigerian workers are the informal workers. we shall continue to provide the enabling environment , higher productivity, industrial peace and harmony as well as congenial atmosphere for effective collective bargaining amongst trade unions and employers while also Protecting fundamental rights and other lawful rights at work At the just concluded General Elections, Nigerians and indeed Nigerian Workers gave my Administration another mandate to govern them.
Industrial peace is central to economic stability. Every industrial disruption costs the National economy very dearly in money and manhours lost.
