Minimum Wage: Tripartite Committee Submits Report
The tripartite committee on the new minimum wage has submitted its report to the office of the Secretary to the Government of Federation, Mr. George Akume.
The presidency set up the committee to come up with a new minimum wage for the workers, who were on an indefinite strike last Monday, Online Parrot News reported.
There have been speculations that the federal government will offer N62,000 to the workers, an amount that the Nigeria Labour Congress has preemptively rejected.
The Director of Information and Public Relations, Segun Imohiosen, released a statement saying that the president will check the report when the organised labour leaders are back from a foreign trip.
The statement read, “The Tripartite Committee on National Minimum Wage has concluded its assignment and submitted the report to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation on Monday, 10th June 2024.
“A formal presentation of the Report will be made to Mr. President for appropriate action, when the leadership of the Organised Labour as well as representatives of the Government and Organised Private Sector, who are presently in Geneva, Switzerland for the ongoing International Labour Organisation Conference, return to the country. The SGF thanked the Chairman of the Committee, Alh. Bukar Goni Aji and members for their commitment and sacrifices. ”
