There appears to be a new twist around the fresh breakthrough secured the the organised labour in the consequential implementation of the new minimum wage implementation for grade levels seven to 17 of the Nigerian civil workforce.
Apparently many Nigerians are raining the praise on Festus Keyamo, the recently the re-assigned Minister of State For Labour and Employment.
Recall that he was re-assigned by President Muhammadu Buhari from the Ministry of Niger Delta affairs for un-disclosed reasons.
He had tweeted on Thursday, announcing the new agreement between government and Labour:

After some delicate negotiations (with both Ministers as conciliators) Government & Labour have finally reached an agreement on the consequential adjustments of other wages following the implementation of the enhanced minimum wage of N30,000. We are now working on the communique

PMB knew why he took you there. It was for times like this. Kudos

Nigerians in turn went all out to sing his praises as can be seen from the following comments. One twitter user,
Yousoof Imam Shuwa @Yimam19 said ‘Is an honest, gentleman, I guess PMB redeployed him to Min. of Labour ’cause of this Labour/FG negotiation. We wouldn’t have had a successful positive meeting without the presence of @fkeyamo’ while Umaru Sule @umarusule said ‘PMB knew why he took you there. It was for times like this. Kudos’.
It is interesting to see how Nigerians have suddenly heaped the praises on the Minister of State knowing fully well there is a Senior Minister and the fact that he is just one man in the Federal Government’s team.

When I heard of your abrupt transfer to Labour & Employment Ministry, I knew it was for moment/issue like this. That is, to work in unison with Sen Ngige by collectively bringing your knowledge & experience as an erudite lawyer to fore in tandem wt the 4yr experience he gathers.
