he Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President Ayuba Wabba has said the Federal Government would soon announce a new minimum wage as the Tripartite Committee had completed its assignment for onward submission to President Muhammadu Buhari.

He stated this yesterday while briefing journalists in Abuja.

Wabba said the committee has reconvened and deliberated on a new minimum wage figure that was acceptable to all employers of labour in the country.

“I want to assure workers that all has been concluded and will be passed for signing within the week.

“I also want to appreciate the Organised Private Sector, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria and Nigeria Employers Consultative Association (NECA) for their resolve to pay the new minimum wage when it is signed into law,” he said.

The NLC president, however, refused to disclose the figure arrived at by the Tripartite Committee.

Wabba said the presidency would soon make it public after deliberation by the National Economic Council meeting.

The organized labour had demanded N65,500 as new minimum wage for workers, while the private employers and some state governors were proposing N25,000.

Are you sure??
Let's watch!

Those proposing that N25k are wicked and should be hanged! How long should a man, his wife and children keep on struggling and surviving on such despicable amount? How much are the governors earning? Wicked vagabonds! Will they even pay the N25k before 6months exceed? Wicknessness.. Uther wickedness! N25k cannot even pay some first term jss1 school fees..
No government job is supposed to pay less that N120k to anyworker.. Be it road sweepers or secretaries.

Labour is confused...

Inflation? Lols.. So luxemborg that's paying upto N1.2M per month to their primary school teachers have an inflated economy, yeah? Smh.. No worker should earn less than N120k.. The only thing you should say is that Nigeria is not ready for that and should work towards completely achieving it in about 3 to 4 years time.. Inflation will not happen when i earn what i deserve!
