Fed. Govt.vows to prosecute private employers paying below N70000 minimum wage to workers0

Federal government has warned private companies to adhere to N70,000 minimum wage law, saying it’s a criminal offence.

The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, Alhaji Ismaila Abubakar, stated this on Wednesday while speaking at the 13th Annual General Meeting of the Employers Association for Private Employment Agencies of Nigeria, held in Ikeja, Lagos.

He stated that any company that fails to pay at least N70,000 to its employee could be prosecuted.

His words: “The minimum wage is a law, and you can be prosecuted if you fail to implement it. The Federal Government is committed to ensuring that the least paid worker goes home with N70,000.”

Abubakar, who was represented by the Director of Employment and Wages of the ministry, John Nyamali, said: “The minimum wage is now a law, and as a result, it is a punishable crime for any employer to pay below N70,000 to any of its workers.

“The private employment agencies should make it compulsory in any contract they take from their principal that their workers should not earn less than the minimum wage. The least paid worker in Nigeria should earn N70,000, and I think that should be after all deductions”.

In response, Dr. Olufemi Ogunlowo, President of the Employers Association for Private Employment Agencies of Nigeria, asked for clarification on whether the N70,000 wage applies net or gross, adding, “We are already committed to the minimum wage and providing decent jobs for Nigerians while preventing the exploitation of human resources.”

Funmilayo Sessi, Chairperson of the Lagos State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), urged prompt implementation of the wage.

“The N70,000 isn’t sufficient in today’s economic realities. Once the consequential adjustment is finalized, all private employment agencies must begin paying their workers the N70,000 minimum wage.”
