Nigeria failed to make the list of countries with the highest national minimum wage in Africa amid rising poverty. On the other hand, Seychelles topped the list.

The LP presidential candidate for the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has discussed the potential for a merger between the LP and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

President Bola Tinubu's government has explained that the federal and states currently have a bloated workforce, hence it cannot pay N497,000 as minimum wage.

The organised labour on Wednesday, slashed their earlier demand from N500,000 to N497,000. They arrived at this decision after the federal government offered N57,000

Organised labour have reduced its demand for an improved new minimum from an initial N615,000 to N500,000. This came after the FG offered labour N54,000.

The Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress have said they will not accept the N48,000 minimum wage offer proposed by the federal government.

Nigerians have started reacting to the reaction of former senator Shehu Sani's attack on President Bola Tinubu's proposal on new minimum wage to the labour.

Amid speculations of a potential merger of the Labour Party (LP) with other parties, Joe Ajaero's led NLC said the congress is unaware of such discussions.

The federal government and the leadership of the NLC and the TUC are locked at a dead end as organised labour rejected N48,000 offer as the new minimum wage.
