 Thank you very much. Good morning, Nigerians. Good morning, Nigerians. This issue at stake, you would collectively was properly negotiated. It's a timeline given for all these agreements. In particular, the one you mentioned now, which is referenced to the WID award and the minimum wage. Minimum wage statutorily is due for this year, which is around April. And prior to this time, the labor and the government agree that because of the adverse effect of the subsidiary mover on the life of an average Nigerian workers, there is need to design a pallet which is called WID award to workers so that they will be able to at least sustain pending women which will be reviewed. And as at that time, they have already requested for nomination of committees, both from the union side and the government side. From the union side, both NLC, the two labor center, NLC, Nigeria Labor Congress and the trade union Congress have since the review of minimum wage. But up to this moment, the government have not demit fit to inaugurate the committee for action. But we, as a union, we are not waiting to that. We are not relating. We have been doing our background assignment in terms of research into what we call not only minimum wage. This time around, it must be a living wage for all workers across both. So this prompted the leadership of the Nigeria Labor Congress to immediately put up a technical committee to research on the rates, the standard rates of an average Nigerians in each of the 36 states and FCC. We know there are peculiarities across it. Some states cost of commodities, a minimum standard of living is above the means of an average worker. So we are going to negotiate this time around in line with all these socioeconomic indices across states put together, which will form the background of what labor is going to propose to government whenever they are ready for the negotiation. But what we know for sure is that it will not, it can never exceed April. Because by April, the minimum wage will have been lapsed and it will not be of effect. So before the call us to a table, we are preparing our notes. We are doing our background research across states so that whatever we are putting across to government, we'll be in line with the current reality and it will be a living wage for all, not just a take home, which cannot take people. We will not be able to preempt the intention of government. We are labor movement. We are always back already. We are focused and we are determined and we are, and for sure, you know, we are a partner in progress. So maybe two, three weeks ago, the current acting minister of labor and employment, issued a statement that federal government is ready to clear the backlog of the areas of wage award, because they've only paid two out of four, September and October. As I speak, November, December wage award is still pending and January is counting down. So she made some issues, some official statements in this regard that they are very mindful of paying all these backlogs because it's affecting the level of an labor worker, seriously. As I speak, most of our colleagues in the public sector find it difficult to celebrate Christmas and New Year with their entitlements. But be that as it may, we are ready and we are hoping that they will pay this backlog and we focus their attention to the negotiation table which they have already established so that they can institute and inaugurate this committee formally so that they can work and commence in business before a pre-deadline with this minimum wage will have lapsed. So we are very optimistic. We don't want to be pessimistic. We don't know the intention of government, but they are working as we heard that they are going to, you know, inaugurate this committee as soon as they know it's a constitutional matter. You understand? And government should be the number one respecter of law. So they know for sure that the law of the land says, for sure you know that we have our instrument and we have our mode of operation. So we'll give them some automation, approaching this deadline to let them know the reason and the urgency of this committee to commence work in NS. So we'll give them the necessary timeline to know that if they refuse to inaugurate this committee within a short time, it will create a kind of vacuum, which means
