The Akwa Ibom State governor, Udom Emmanuel has assured the state Labour Congress of his readiness to pay of N30,000 as minimum wage in the state, explaining that new minimum wage has never been a problem to him right from the beginning.

The governor who said this on Monday in Uyo during a consultation with the Nigeria Labour Congress, Trade Union Congress, United Labour and other affiliate unions stressed that the state government was only waiting for the Federal government to decide on the new minimum wage so that it can implement it in the state.

He said labour is the bedrock of development in any nation and that his administration would do everything possible to ensure that it satisfies the needs of the unions.

Emmanuel said he has kept this promise for a long time, adding that even when allocations from the federal government were still pending, he sourced for money to make sure salaries were paid.

“Labour is the key to development. You cannot relegate labour to the background.

“Minimum wage has never been an issue; it is just that it has been a matter of legislation. We are waiting for directions from the federal government, once the direction is given, we will pay.

“In the face of circumstances and what we face in this country, I have done my best to make sure that workers do not suffer. I pay salaries in circumstances that I do not receive allocation. You did not elect me to make excuses but to find solution to problems.

“I have demonstrated capacity yesterday and can look into the future. I am here today because you people have strengthened me to be here and made it possible for me to be here, and we can talk and negotiate. I thank labour for the fantastic relationship between the labour and us.

“The Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) has the best blueprint for workers in the country. We need your support in the usual manner to support us in the coming election. Today is the day for consultation. I want to thank God for the leadership of the labour and for this state. It is not in every state that labour sits like this with the governor,” he said.

Earlier, the Nigeria Labour Congress State Chairman, Comrade Etim Ukpong said labour is a very economically and socially variable group, adding that he is happy the governor knows the labour has given him support.

He said the workers were appreciative of what the governor had done, and hoped that he would fulfil all outstanding promises to them.

“Over three and a half years, there had been no labour restiveness in Akwa Ibom State because you are working with people who can manage the situation.

“Your coming gives us the satisfaction that we are working with somebody who understands the meaning of labour union. We welcome you here, you saw how the labour leaders welcomed you.

“They appreciate you and what your government has spent during the period as governor, and as you are leaving this place, you will address what the people want to hear. Our workers want to see the consultation in action” he stated.
