MINIMUM WAGE:  STRIKE  ACTTION WOULDN'T HOLD ON TUESDAY- NLC officials

The Nigeria Labour Congress has ruled out strike action scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, to demand a new national minimum wage.

The NLC President, Joe Ajaero, made this known on Monday during the ongoing International Labour Conference taking place in Geneva, Switzerland.

According to the Guardian, Ajaero said organised labour cannot embark on strike tomorrow because the figures presented by the Tritiparte committee on minimum wage are with President Bola Tinubu.

He clarified that the submission of N62,000 as proposed by the government and the organized employers’ body with labour proposing
N250,000 does not translate to labour accepting N62,000 as the new minimum wage.

He said: “The tripartite committee submitted two figures to the President. Government and employers proposed N62,000 while labour
proposed N250,000
. We are waiting for the decision of the President. Our National Executive Council (NEC) will deliberate on the
new figure when it is out.

“We cannot declare strike now because the figures are with the President. We will wait for the President’s decision.
