Nigerian workers to get new minimum wage before 2019 polls – Ngige

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, says the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is a labour-friendly one, which is determined to put smiles on the faces of Nigerian workers before 2019 elections.

Mr Ngige stated this when he alongside the Chairman of the National Minimum Wage Negotiation Committee, Amma Pepple, addressed State House correspondents on the outcome of their closed door meeting with the president.

Mr Ngige and Ms Pepple had briefed the president on the progress so far made by the Pepple committee, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Friday.
