The Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council (Trade Union Side) has called on Nigerians to appeal to the Federal Government to implement the N30,000 new minimum wage with adequate consequential adjustments to prevent workers from embarking on strike.

The acting chairman of JNPSNC (TUS), Simon Anchaver, and Secretary, Alade Lawal, said this while giving details of the breakdown in negotiation with government representatives in a statement on Tuesday.
Anchaver said all efforts by the trade unions to persuade the government to implement the new wage were unsuccessful.
According to him, no further notification will be given to the Federal Government before they down tools.
The JNPSNC (TUS) said, âThe Consequential Adjustment Committee two weeks ago agreed that the proposal of the TUS that the salary of officers on grade level 07 to 14 should be increased by 29 per cent and that of officers on grade level 15 to 17 by 24 per cent vis-a-vis that of government side of 10 per cent for officers on grade level 07 to 14, 5.5 per cent for those on grade level 15 to 17 should be forwarded to President Buhari to see the patriotic position of labour and approve appropriate consequential adjustment accordingly.
âWhen the meeting reconvened on September 16, the government officials brought a fresh proposal of 11 per cent pay rise for officers on grade level 07 to 14 instead of its earlier position of 10 per cent and 6.5 per cent for those on grade level 15 to 17 instead of the former 5.5 per cent.â
The workers said it had become clear that the government was not serious about paying workers a ânew national minimum wage and adequate consequential adjustment, but preferred taking them for a ride.â
Anchaver said, âIt is difficult to understand why the political appointees who cart millions of naira away every month are determined that Nigerian workers must not get N30,000 monthly minimum wage with fair consequential adjustment.
The organisation called on royal fathers and religious leaders to plead with the Federal Government to implement the minimum wage with adequate consequential adjustments to avoid the looming industrial crisis.
The group said the Trade Union Congress of Nigerian and the Nigeria Labour Congress had been briefed on the breakdown of negotiations.
