NULGE Tackles Governors Over Exclusion of LG Workers from Newly Approved Minimum Wage

The National Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) is criticizing governors for excluding some local government workers from receiving the newly approved minimum wage of N70,000.

The National Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) has condemned state governments for excluding some local government workers from receiving the newly approved minimum wage of N70,000. According to NULGE, certain categories of LG workers were left out of the wage increase, sparking concerns about fairness and equity in the distribution of benefits. The union is urging governors to reconsider their decision and include all eligible LG workers in the wage scheme. This move aims to address the growing disparities in remuneration across different local government sectors.
