 The Oyo State Chapter of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, has resolved to embark on a sit-at-home protest if the government fails to grant their demands by the end of this month. The workers made the resolution at the Congress held at the NLC's State Secretariat, Ibadon. They're insisting on a wage award of $35,000 for workers and $25,000 for pensioners monthly in line with the federal government's relief package to ameliorate economic hardship due to fuel subsidy removal. Chairman of Oyo, NLC, Coyote Martins, pledged to pursue the resolutions of the Congress to its logical conclusion. By the end of this month, if the wage award of $35,000 for workers, $25,000 for pensioners is not implemented, people should stay at home. And that is what our people bought into and we declare. We're going to send the notice to the government and all the stakeholders, even the press as well, in a couple of minutes. That by the end of this month, if nothing is done, they all stay at home. We are just their mouthpiece. We are here to speak their minds. They have spoken and we deliver the message to the appropriate quarters. If the NLC has done well in its first tenure, we want to advise them to please do better in this second 2.0 regime. We should listen. We should not listen to misadvisors. I won't call them special advisers, misadvisors. Issues turn negative advice. That will bring the administration to despair. What kind of wage salary for the state worker? Who is working for those people that their salary is very low, wage-contending at all? Imagine somebody going home with $17,000, $15,000, how do you want to go into that? So we want our young single man to help us look into it. But what if it's good for GIF, it's good for GANDA. What if it's good for workers or for young single men? It's good for private workers as well. So if we are taking it from workers, once a young single man attend to the workers and pensioners, same will move into the picketing of companies that are not yielding to see to the welfare of our members.
