There’ll be no peace for you – Oshiomhole warns govts

According to Senator Adams Oshiomhole, there should be no peace if a state or local government declines to pay the N35,000 money from the federal government.

According to ZINGTIE, President Bola Tinubu’s administration granted an N35,000 provisional wage award for all federal government employees who receive treasury payments for a period of six months in order to mitigate the impact of the loss of subsidies.

This was after additional discussions with the Federal Government team that had previously conferred with the Trade Union Congress (TUC) leaders and the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in the previous year.

According to Oshiomhole, who appeared on Channels Television on Sunday, all tiers of government, including the private sector, ought to execute the provisional wage award.

“The Federal Government approved N35,000 increase on top of current wage levels. But I’m yet to understand why any Nigerian state government or governor is not implementing that agreement,” the former Labour leader and ex-governor of Edo, said.

“I don’t agree that the money was for only federal employees. Federal employees don’t have different markets from state employees and the struggle that was mobilised, workers in Nigeria were mobilised both public and private sectors in what we called a general strike before that money was awarded.

“By extension, therefore, all state governments, local governments, federal government and private sector employers should implement it. I don’t think NLC business is to lament it.

“They should fight for the implementation of their rights. Any government that refuses to implement the N35,000 is not entitled to peace. That’s my view.”
