Labour had shifted grounds from its N497,000 proposal to N494,000.
Channels Television Reports that a prominent member of the Tripartite Committee for the negotiation of a new minimum wage for Nigerian workers revealed that the Federal Government and the Organised Private Sector side of the talks proposed a N60,000 monthly minimum wage as against the N57,000 they tabled last week when the committee resumed negotiations.
The government had initially proposed N48,000 and N54,000, which were also rejected by Organised Labour.
However, Labour had also presented N615,000 as the new minimum wage but saw reasons to drop their demand from to N497,000 last week and then to N494,000 on Tuesday.
The Tripartite Committee is yet to agree on a new minimum wage before the May 31,2024 deadline the labour unions gave to the government.

A country where not up to 60% are govt workers, youths wey suppose make the thing loud, most of us are not either working or not govt workers. So, it'll drag
ReplyDeleteBut NLC knows the government cannot agreed on such amount na. I think it should be peg at 100k
ReplyDeleteI agree with you
DeleteThey should settle for 100k
Way to go NLC
ReplyDeleteMay 31st is fast approaching. Govt, let us try to get above 60k. That 60k is not even $50 monthly in any of the major exchange currencies. 75k-100k is a more realistic range.
ReplyDeleteUhmm...I think NLC should accept it
ReplyDeleteYou think it's fair because? Do you pay house rent, do you feed at least two children and pay their school fees? Do you use your money to buy your groceries? Are you in tune with our current economic realities? I guess not.
DeleteWhy do i feel like this journey is to fulfil all righteous? I mean, N497,000 in Nigeria? God abeg ohh. I pray it becomes fruitful and also we get govt job to enjoy this benefit. Amen.

Change requires a belief in something far beyond reality. China was once a very poor country, so too was all of the ME nations, one man envisioned a Dubai and it is there today. What NLC is asking for is achievable, but very few support them or even believe that it is possible. I am shocked how often they are mocked by the very group of ppl they are fighting for.
DeleteMtcheeewww
ReplyDeleteBut NLC knows this won't fly na
Naira, will soon be like Zimbabwe dollars.
