BREAKING: TRIPARTITE COMMITTEE MEETING ON NEW MINIMUM WAGE BEGINS IN ABUJA
The meeting of the tripartite committee to establish a new national minimum wage has begun.
The gathering, the fifth since organized labor’s industrial action was suspended, is taking place behind closed doors at the Nicon Luxury Hotel in Abuja.
The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) Director General, State Minister of Labor and Employment Nkiruka Onyejeocha, Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, a representative of the Salaries, Income, and Wages Commission, Minister of Finance Wale Edun, and Minister of Budget and National Planning Atiku Bagudu are among the notable committee members present.
The committee members promised that a figure might be revealed on Friday when they met on Thursday.
Recall that in order to give the committee time to complete their negotiations and arrive at a figure that would be presented to the National Assembly, organized labor paused its industrial action for a week.
