The Organised Labour has rejected a new minimum wage proposal put forward by the Nigerian Government.
The Organised Labour, including the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), has reportedly rejected the Federal Government’s offer of ₦60,000 as the new minimum wage. It was also learned that labour has adjusted its demand from ₦497,000 to ₦494,000.
Channels Television reported that a prominent member of the Tripartite Committee for negotiating a new minimum wage for Nigerian workers revealed that the Federal Government and the Organised Private Sector proposed a ₦60,000 monthly minimum wage.
This is an increase from the ₦57,000 they suggested last week when the committee resumed negotiations.
The Organized Labour rejected the proposed ₦57,000.
