Minimum Wage: Labour rejects FG’s N60k offer, may proceed on strike in June

The organised labour on Tuesday rejected the federal government’s updated N60,000 minimum wage proposal at the end of the tripartite committee meeting in Abuja.

This will be the fourth proposal the labour leaders have rejected in two months since the discussion on minimum wage began.

The last meeting held on Wednesday, May 22, ended in deadlock as the organised labour condemned the N57,000 proposal from the federal government, which was slightly increased by N3,000 from the N54,000 earlier proposed.

This prompted all members of the tripartite committee to reconvene today, (Tuesday, May 2024) for the continuation of the minimum wage discussion, with the federal government pleading with the labour leaders to reconsider their stand.
