Industrial Global Union, Africa, has commended the Federal Government for the constitution of a National Minimum Wage Committee to kick start the process of negotiation for a new wage for Nigerian workers.

The Vice President of the union, Comrade Issa Aremu, in a statement issued in Kaduna urged all stakeholders to negotiate a new living wage for what he called “impoverished African workforce”. 

Aremu called on Africa leaders to pay more attention to Africa’s youth and urgently address their concern which is decent jobs. 

He said this is the only way to retain them in the continent and stop their unnecessary migration to Europe for any kind of jobs with millions dying in the Mediterranean Sea. 

He described the mass exodus of African youths to Europe and America as “unacceptable mass voluntary slavery” adding that it was caused by unemployment and miserable pay to African workforce.
