The Organised Labour has again rejected a fresh ₦60,000 minimum wage proposal by the Federal Government, and the Organised Private Sector.

This time, the Organised Labour comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), also shifted ground from its ₦497,000 stance last week to ₦494,000.

Yesterday’s meeting deadlocked, as talks ended without an agreement on what to pay as a new minimum wage.

The Tripartite Committee for the negotiation of a new minimum wage for Nigerian workers is yet to agree on a new minimum wage, just about three days before the May 31 deadline the labour unions gave to the government to conclude the negotiations.
