The organised labour and the federal government have been in conflict over the implementation of the new minimum wage which was signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari on April 18.

The reappointed minister of labour and employment, Senator Chris Ngige, has given workers the assurance, that the issues surrounding new minimum wage implementation will soon be resolved.

The federal government will on Tuesday in Abuja inaugurate the N30,000 new national minimum wage implementation committee, almost one month after President Muhammadu Buhari signed the bill into law.

Dr Chris Ngige, Nigeria's minister of labour and employment, on Channels TV claims that Nigeria has enough medical doctors to cater for its health needs.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, has expressed optimism that President Muhammadu Buhari would be re-elected in the 2019 presidential election. Ngige spoke on Sunday, May 13, at Ojoto, Anambra.

The federal government has pledged its commitment to enhance workers’ welfare and prosperity for all citizens in the country. Chris Ngige, the minister of labour and employment, made this pledge in a statement in Abuja.

Today again, Buhari will win this election. Some people are saying that the northerners are hungry and that they will not vote for him. It is not true. I am a minister of labour. If you go to Abuja, you do not see labourers from.

The minister of labour and productivity, Chris Ngige, said the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari created no fewer than seven million jobs in the first two years of the administration between May 2015 and November 2017.
