Minimum wage: Labour leaders storm out of meeting over FG’s N48,000 offer
The organised labour on Wednesday stormed out of the minimum wage committee meeting with the Federal Government over the government’s offer of N48,000 new wage.
Labour comprising of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress had made a demand of N615,000 as the new minimum wage and gave the government May 31 deadline to conclude negotiations on new living wage.
The Tripartite Committee on New National Minimum Wage which included the private sector resumed negotiations on Wednesday.
A report by Vanguard quoted Prof. Theophilus Ndubuaku, who is one of the representatives of the NLC at the meeting, as saying , “We asked whether the N45,000 is for transport, food, clothing, housing or for what.
“So we just told them that since they are not serious, we better just leave, so we stormed out of the place,”
He said that the government offer was presented to them by the Permanent Secretary at the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
