The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Rivers has accused the state government of threatening it over the implementation of the new minimum wage.
NLC Chairperson in the state, Beatrice Itubo, made the allegation in an interview with Channels Television on Monday.
This comes a day after government officials with the Bureau for Special Projects sealed the NLC Secretariat in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
Itubo said, “Our secretariat was sealed about 9pm yesterday (Sunday), arising from the fact that we asked the state government to reconvene a meeting of the Minimum Wage (Implementation) Committee.”
“That was what triggered them and the next thing, the Commissioner for Information went on air, saying that we have been bought over by politicians from Abuja and they will deal with us, we will face dare consequences.
