which agreement here, until Fg yield to the Labour unions demands, strike continues. The clueless #60k the Fg is proposing here is never justifiable. Even a bag of garri is over 60k. Tinubu and his team should do the needful on the new minimum wage. Things will escalate more if they don’t act on the plight of Nigeria workers.

meum:
Make dem no gree. The same committee that was adding 3k to their offer during serious negotiations? If na me be NLC leader na inside strike we go negotiate. If una no gree we continue indefinitely so that next time una go dey serious with Labour union.

phemmyjohnson:
