Democracy Day: Labour insists on N250, 000 minimum wage

As Nigeria marks Democracy Day, the Nigeria Labour Congress says its demand for the new national minimum wage remains N250 ,000. The acting president of the NLC, Mr. Adewale Adeyanju, said this in a statement, while reacting to President Bola Tinubu 's Democracy Day speech on Wednesday, in Abuja. The News Agency of Nigeria recalls…

According to him, the union appreciates the president’s commitment to those fine democratic ideals, which allowed the work of the Tripartite National Minimum Wage Negotiation Committee to proceed unhindered despite some hiccups. He, however, reaffirmed the union’s belief that the president on whose table the Tripartite Committee’s report presently resides would prepare an Executive Bill which content would reflect the true demand of Nigerian workers.

According to him, the president’s advisers obviously did not tell him the truth that the leaders of the trade unions were intimidated and harassed. According to Adeyanju, the union also agreed that inflation should be pegged at a level for certain amount to be agreed as minimum wage. This is to bring clarity to what the report should contain.
