NLC Vows to Resist Move to Decentralise Minimum Wage
The Business NG
|The BusinessNG
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has declared its readiness to resist any move by the National Assembly to transfer labour matters, including the national minimum wage, from the exclusive legislative list to the concurrent list - a move that would allow individual states to set their own wage structures.
-
NLC President, Joe Ajaero, made the declaration on Friday during a meeting of the National Administrative Council (NAC) of the Central Working Committee held in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Describing the proposed legislative amendment as “an exercise in futility,” Ajaero warned that labour would not sit back and watch the national minimum wage structure dismantled. He argued that such decentralisation runs counter to global best practices and violates International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions, which recognise minimum wage as a national policy responsibility.

MPC Meeting: All Eyes on CBN as Analysts Predict Fresh Rate Cut
As Nigeria's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) prepares to meet on November 24-25, analysts across the financial sector are forecasting another policy rate cut, citing easing inflation, stronger macroeconomic fundamentals, and improved foreign exchange stability. The meeting comes just weeks after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) cut the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) by 50 basis points to 27%, marking the first rate reduction in nearly ten consecutive policy meetings under Governor Olayemi Cardoso. Stakeholders say this week's meeting will be a decisive test of the CBN's confidence in Nigeria's emerging disinflation trend. Inflation eased to 16.05% in October—down from 18.02% in September—following the CPI rebasing exercise and improvements in food supply, FX liquidity, and general price stability.
