Nigerian Government proposes new minimum wage – Details

Voice Air Media, VAM News Update

THE Federal Government has now proposed a new National Minimum Wage of N54,000.

This is following the walkout by the Organised Labour comprising of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress during the last meeting with the Tripartite Committee on Minimum Wage following the proposed N48,000.

However, it is not clear whether Labour would accept this offer.

Recall that the labour union had earlier demanded the increase in minimum wage payment to N615,000, an offer which was described as ”ridiculous” with the federal government proposing a previous increment to 48 thousand naira.
