The Organised Labour has said it
will meet on Thursday, to take a final decision on the new national minimum
wage for workers.
This follows the delay by the
Federal Government to announce its figure.
Ayuba Wabba, President, Nigeria
Labour Congress (NLC), made this known in an interview with NAN on Wednesday in
Abuja.
Recall that the Minister of
Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, had said there was no agreement yet
by the Tripartite Committee on the new national minimum wage figure in the
country.
Wabba said that the struggle for
a new minimum wage for workers was on course, saying that labour was proposing
N30,000 as requested by the organised private sector.
“So, we as organised labour will
be meeting tomorrow (Thursday) in Lagos after which we will brief newsmen on
the outcome of our decision,” he added.
