Just in: FG proposes another new minimum wage, labour kicks again

There is no end in sight yet on new minimum wage dispute between the Federal Government and the organised labour as no agreement was reached at a meeting held on Tuesday.

The labour on Tuesday rejected the N54,000 proposed by the government as new minimum wage.

This is N6,000 higher than the N48,000 proposed by the Federal Government last week, which labour leaders rejected outright.

Again, the organised labour comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress at the Tuesday meeting said no to the new proposed minimum wage of N54,000.

The labour last week said they would not accept N100,000 as the new minimum wage.

They however said they would not insist on N615,000, which was presented to the government for consideration.
