Organized Labour agrees to participate in Tuesday's negotiation meeting on the minimum wage, seeking resolution amid concerns over proposed wage increases. The Federal Government's proposal of ₦48,000 was rejected, with Labour demanding more substantial offers.
Organized Labour has agreed to participate in the negotiation meeting of the Tripartite Committee on the Minimum Wage, scheduled for Tuesday. This development comes after previous discord over the Federal Government's proposed minimum wage of N48,000, which Labour deemed inadequate.
Allegations of the government's failure to provide supporting data further complicated negotiations. Despite challenges, the Committee's Chairman, Alhaji Bukar Goni, remains hopeful for progress and urges flexibility from both parties.
Labour's rejection of the proposed N100,000 minimum wage underscores their demand for a substantial increase. Benson Upah, NLC's Head of Information and Public Affairs, emphasizes the need for the government to take negotiations seriously and abandon the N100,000 offer.
The upcoming meeting marks a crucial moment in ongoing discussions, highlighting the necessity for constructive dialogue and compromise to address workers' concerns effectively.
