National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, says President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration is committed to the implementation of an improved National Minimum Wage for Nigerian workers.

Oshiomhole expressed his resolve to use his position to influence government policies in a way that will benefit the Nigerian worker.

He gave this assurance to a delegation of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) led by its President, Bobboi Bala Kaigama, which paid a solidarity visit to the Party’s National Secretariat in Abuja.

“The trade union movement and the working class represent part of the constituency that President Buhari believes in. If you hear any voice within the APC family talking in a way as to suggest that President Buhari’s government will superintend over the abolition of the National Minimum Wage, that will be the individual’s wishful thinking.

“Even at a time many people were calling for the abolition of the National Minimum Wage, President Buhari decided to set up a panel to review upward the existing National Minimum Wage,” he said.

On his part, the TUC President, Bobboi Kaigama assured the APC National Chairman of TUC’s support and cooperation, he described Oshiomhole as a bridge-builder.

Kaigama congratulated Oshiomole on his new appointment noting that as an ambassador of the labour movement, he will continue to perform his role and duty.
