Organised labour under the umbrella of the NLC and TUC has been told one factor they must consider as they agitate for an increase in the minimum wage.
The NLC has provided clarity on the report that organised labour will be embarking on an indefinite strike on Tuesday over the minimum wage demand for members.
The organised labour has said it has never contemplated N100,000 let alone of N62,000. In an interview on Monday, June 10, labour said it still at N250,000.
Labour has submitted its report to President Bola Tinubu and it is waiting for the Nigerian leader to make his decision on the new national minimum wage.
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has maintained its demands, clarifying that it has never considered the N62,000 minimum wage proposed by the government.
The presidency has opened up on report that minister of finance and coordinating economy, Wale Edun, proposed N105,000 as new minimum wage to President Bola Tinubu.
After the FG increased the proposed minimum wage to N62,000, and the organised labour lowered its demand to N250,000, officials of the NLC and TUC will meet.
Amid discord over a new minimum wage, the organised labour has told Nigerian governors that economies of most states are driven by workers’ wages.
Amid economic hardship in Nigeria, citizens have made their choice about what a reasonable "living wage" should be. 3,029 Nigerians voted in a poll.
