Minimum wage: Labour’s meeting with Tinubu ends in stalemate

1 Min Read

The highly anticipated meeting between the Organised Labour and President Bola Tinubu has ended without a consensus on a new minimum wage for Nigerian workers.

The meeting, held at the Presidential Villa, saw labour leaders and government representatives engage in intense discussions, but ultimately failed to yield a mutually acceptable figure.

According to Daily Post, the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress maintained their stance on a minimum wage of N250,000, while the Federal Government insisted on its proposed figure of N62,000.

Despite the stalemate, labour leaders expressed optimism that a resolution would be reached soon, hinting at further consultations with the Presidency next week.

The minimum wage saga has been ongoing for months, with Nigerian workers eagerly awaiting a new wage structure.

The development has sparked concerns about the potential for industrial action if a satisfactory agreement is not reached.
