Minimum Wage: There’ll Be No Warning Strike, Labour Tells Govt

The President of Trade Union Congress, Quadri Olaleye, said organised labour would not go on a warning strike before the main industrial action, if government failed to meet workers’ demand on the implementation of the new minimum wage by the close of work on Wednesday, October 16, 2019. In a communiqué issued at the end of a meeting of leaders of labour unions on Tuesday in Abuja, organised labour had said it would not guarantee industrial peace in Nigeria, if the Federal Government failed to hold a meeting with labour and accept its demand on the consequential salary adjustment arising from the new minimum wage.

Cameroon on Monday restored some pride for Africa when it defeated Ecuador 6-0 in the battle of debutants in Vancouver, Canada at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup. As if they were on a revenge mission after Cote d’Ivoire went down 10-0 to Germany on Sunday in Group B, the Cameroonians, helped by a three-goal virtuoso display from Gaelle Enganamouit, made minced meat of Ecuador. Enganamouit – celebrating her birthday – had a hand in all the goals as the West Africans enjoyed a perfect opening to their FIFA Women’s World Cup odyssey. After a low-key opening half-hour, Enganamouit started a move which resulted in a goal for Madeleine Ngono Mani.
