Leaders of the Organised Labour are currently in a closed-door meeting with President Bola Tinubu to discuss a new minimum wage for workers in the country.
The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, and the President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Festus Osifo, were seen arriving at the State House in Abuja on Thursday afternoon for the talks.
President Tinubu is expected to make a decision on the ₦62,000 proposal from the government and private sector, as well as the ₦250,000 demand from the Organised Labour.
This meeting follows President Tinubu’s announcement in his Democracy Day speech on June 12, 2024, that an executive bill for a new national minimum wage would soon be sent to the National Assembly.
On June 25, the Federal Executive Council (FEC), chaired by the President, decided to postpone consideration of the new minimum wage memo to allow for further stakeholder engagement.
Two days later, on June 27, Tinubu and Vice President Kassim Shettima met with governors of the 36 states and ministers during the 141st meeting of the National Economic Council (NEC) to discuss the new minimum wage for workers.
