The organised labour – Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) – is set to embark on a nationwide strike over the move by the National Assembly to remove the issue of National Minimum Wage from the Exclusive Legislative List, describing the move as a ploy to allow some state governors to pay slave wages to the poor and hapless workers.

The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum(AYCF) on Sunday criticised Hon Garba Datti, a member of the House of Representatives from Sabon Gari Federal Constituency of Kaduna over what it described as “disparaging comments” against Northern Elders Forum(NEF) and its Chairman, Professor Ango Abdullahi.
Datti had claimed that Abdullahi and other eminent Northerners in NEF were angry with President Muhammadu Buhari because he “did not give them a job”.
The lawmaker’s comment is coming at a time Abdullahi had accused people of the Southeast of being responsible for violent attacks on Northerners in other parts of the country.
