The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha, has clarified the status of minimum wage in the Constitution Amendment.
A statement from his office on Thursday said “The Conference report of the Constitution Review Committee recently adopted by the Senate and House of Representatives did not remove Labour from the Exclusive Legislative List.
“The Senate had earlier put Labour on the Concurrent List but the House retained it in the Exclusive List.
“During the Harmonization of the Reports from the two Chambers, the Conference Committee adopted the House version and retained Labour on the Exclusive List.
“Both Senate and the House of Representatives have now adopted the Conference Committee Report which retained Labour on the Exclusive Legislative List.”
The Deputy Speaker, who is also the Chairman, House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee on Constitution Amendment added that the committee was “at a loss as to where the false and misleading information on this matter emanated from.”
He urge organised Labour to seek proper clarification from the legislature rather than make hasty conclusions.
