No going back on N250,000 minimum wage demand – Ajaero

The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, has affirmed that the demand for a minimum wage of ₦250,000 remains firm.

Despite an agreement between the federal government and the organized private sector on ₦62,000, the labour union is steadfast in its insistence on ₦250,000.

Before submitting the new minimum wage law to the National Assembly, President Bola Tinubu expressed the need for additional time to consult with relevant stakeholders.
