According to Chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Oyo State Council, Alhaji Sikiru Titilola-Sodo, Nigerian workers were suffering as they were not well remunerated.

Also speaking, Chairman, Trade Union Congress, TUC, Oyo State Council, Mr. Emmanuel Ogundiran, warned employers of labour against recruiting casual and contract workers, which are part of their moves not to pay the new minimum wage.
Mr. Ogundiran enjoined Oyo State Government not to stop the negotiations with Labour unions on the payment of the new minimum wage.
