The organised labour have said it will not accept 62,000 Naira or 100,000 Naira as the minimum wage for Nigerian workers
Labour insisted on 250,000 Naira, its latest demand at the last meeting of the Tripartite Committee on Minimum Wage on Friday, as the living wage for an average Nigerian worker.
The Assistant General Secretary of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Chris Onyeka, in a televised interview insisted that labour will not accept the latest government’s offer by some individuals and economists, adding that the one-week grace period given to the Federal Government last Tuesday, June 4, 2024, would expire by tomorrow, Tuesday, June 11, 2024.
He also said, should the Federal Government and National Assembly fail to act on the demands of workers by tomorrow, the organs of the NLC and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) would meet to decide on the resumption of the nationwide industrial action relaxed last week.
