The Organised Labour, comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress, (NLC), and the Trade Union Congress, (TUC), have rejected the offer of the Federal Government to pay N60,000 as new minimum wage.
Recall that the government had last week raised its offer from N54,000 to N57,000, which was also rejected by the organised labour.
Dailytab24 gathered that labour on Tuesday shifted from the N497,000 request to N494, 000 as the new minimum wage.
A member of the Tripartite Committee, responsible for negotiating the new minimum wage for Nigerian workers according to Channels Television said both the Federal Government and the Organised Private Sector had increased their offer from ₦57,000 last week to ₦60,000.
Meanwhile, the ongoing negotiations continue to highlight the huge gap between the government’s offer and the Labour Unions’ demands.
