FG Considering N56,000 Minimum Wage – Ngige

-

The minister of labour and
employment, Dr Chris Ngige,
has described as legitimate
the call by labour for a review
of the national minimum wage
and said the federal
government is carefully
studying it in order to give an
appropriate response.

The minister made the disclosure while receiving the executive members of the Organisation of Trade Unions of West Africa (OTUWA) yesterday in Abuja.
Ngige said: “The other day,
labour requested increased
wages for workers and they
have only done what they are
supposed to do. Therefore,
nobody will quarrel with them.
At the appropriate time, we
shall all sit down because what the labour is asking is for the re-negotiation of an existing Collective BargainAgreement (CBA). And every
CBA-based agreement is
subject to re-negotiation at
any given time that any of the partners requests it,” he said

Ngige debunked the notion
that whenever labour makes
such a demand, it means that
the workforce is at
loggerheads with the
government.
“It is wrong for people to think
that whenever the labour
makes such a demand, the
nation is boiling. The labour in
Nigeria has for the first time
met a labour-friendly
government under President
Muhammadu Buhari.

“The government has put
machinery in motion as we
speak because I have got a
letter as the Minister of Labour
and Employment for my
advice. We shall advise the
government the way such a
tripartite negotiation will be
handled so that everybody will
be satisfied without any
industrial unrest.
“Government in this sense
includes also the state and
local governments whom such
wages will be binding on.
When government takes a
decision, we will now move to
another stage in the process
of re-negotiating the CBA,” he said.

HOW DOES A VAGINA BECOME LOOSE? A woman’s vagina is said to be loose when either the vaginal walls are not tight enough or when the vaginal opening becomes very large. There are common factors that causes vaginal loosening which may include; 1) Child birth: One of the most common causes of vaginal loosening is due to giving birth. Motherhood is the essence of a woman’s life and they say a woman is complete only after giving birth to a child. The more a woman gives birth, the more likely it is for her vagina to slacken because her vaginal walls get stretched out. 2) Frequent Masturbation And Sexual Activity: The vagina contracts and expands every time you have sex with your partner or masturbate. With repeated contractions and expansions, the vaginal walls would tend to slacken and lose their elasticity. There can be several other reasons for a woman to have a loose vagina which may include:  Menopause, Aging, etc. Have you ever wondered what makes some men get h

I Wish I Could Get an Opportunity to Use My Legs Again…Yinka Ayefele Some people do not have the heart of thanksgiving no matter the little they have and this sometimes makes our creator wonder if He is not worth glorifying with the high rate of laments from many. This is coming on the point where popular gospel singer, Yinka Ayefele, had recently disclosed during the Julius Agwu, show 'Life As I See It, THE Rebirth' over the weekend that one of his greatest wish would have been a second chance to be able to walk with his legs again. The singer stated that some people do not have the mouth of thanksgiving but rather continue to complain without appreciating God for the little he has already provided. He said: “Some of us standing in front of me right now do not understand the wonders God Almighty has done in our lives. We are here to celebrate the rebirth of another individual whom God has given another chance after his successful brain surgery
