After the long battle between the Federal Government and the Nigerian Labour Congress over the new national minimum wage, the negotiation has come to an halt as the Federal Government has come to the conclusion that it can not afford more than N25,000 per month as the new minimum wage.

The organized labor and Organized Private Sector (OPS) have refused to accept the figures tendered by the Federal Government and are insisting on N30,000 minimum wage per month.

The Federal Government had earlier presented N21, 700 per month as new national minimum wage to the other social partners when the tripartite committee resumed sitting on Thursday, October 4th.



But not happy with what the.....https://janefblog.com/4081-2negotiation-has-come-to-a-stop-as-federal-government-releases-new-minimum-wage/

So what's now the difference Labour should not agree.

its not the amount of the wage that is the problem, the problem is,can they pay ??
ordinary 18k,dem owe people for 5 months and they are insisting on 30k...
I think they should rather strike a deal of 20k,then the staff are paid once it's 25th of every month... it's better that way

Can you receive N20,000 a month and feed ur family and make progress in life? When u type pls have the love of other people in ur heart.

25k is even too much,
90% of states can not pay it.
And we have 90% of graduates roaming around without a job.
They should reduce that 18k in order to accommodate others.

[quote author=ETHIX post=71919667][/quote]it's minimum wage bro, not general basic salary for all levels...
anybody who wants to earn higher, should add more effort on the CV.
ordinarily, minimum wage is for those employed with primary 6 certificate.

2015 minimum wage was #18000 when dollar was #200 making it $90. As at October 2018 minimum wage is #18000 with dollar at #360 making it $50. The proposed minimum wage of #25000 at #360 per dollar will give us a minimum wage of $69.4. Why can't d government take the wage back to the way they met it in 2015, which is $90 (#32400) so that we know that we are back to starting point then start negotiating of new minimum wage.
