According to Vanguard, those present in the meeting with President Tinubu were the minister of finance, Wale Edun, the minister of budget and national planning, Atiku Bagudu, the minister of state for labour and employment, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) Melee Kyari.
The meeting reportedly started about an hour before the resumption of negotiation between organised labour and the federal government.
It was gathered that the meeting is connected to the new minimum wage and the electricity tariff hike clash with organized labour.
Legit.ng reported that a public affairs analyst and lawyer, Daniel Bwala, said the minimum wage should be about N250,000.
Bwala, however, said it is not realistic because there is no money to sustain a monthly salary payment.
He added that the proposed N60,000 minimum can't do much based on the high rate of inflation in the country
