*As Labour leaders hail Jonathan over review

Lagos— The National Committee on Minimum Wage said its report would be submitted to the Federal Government today.

A member of the committee, Mr Solomon Onaghinon, made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos yesterday.

Onaghinon, the Secretary-General, Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, commended the Federal Government for the upward review of the Consolidated Public Service Salary Structure.

The scribe gave the assurance that workers would improve on their productivity. “We want to express our delight over the way Jonathan met our demand. We promise to cooperate with him to ensure a fruitful administration,’’ he said.

The secretary-general explained that the new salary structure was different from the minimum wage being demanded by the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC.  The NLC is demanding N52, 200 as the minimum wage.

Meanwhile, other labour leaders have hailed the upward review of the Consolidated Public Service Salary Structure by the Federal Government, describing it as a relief to the suffering public servants.
