The organised labour in Nigeria has rejected the new N54,000 minimum wage proposal by the Federal Government.
Punch exclusively reported this.
It would be recalled that the Federal Government increased its offer from its earlier proposed N48,000 to N54,000, but organised labour said it is either N615,000 living wage it has demanded or nothing.
Organised labour on Monday reiterated its May 31, 2024 deadline for the implementation of the new minimum wage.
The National President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, insisted on N615,000 minimum wage, arguing that the amount was arrived at after an analysis of the current economic situation and the needs of an average Nigerian family of six.
