President Bola Tinubu’s position on the N62,000 just agreed on by the Federal Government and the Organised Private Sector as the new minimum wage will determine Organised Labour’s next line of action on the matter, the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) said yesterday.
Ajaero said he expected the President to make further consultation on the committee’s recommendation before taking a final decision on the minimum wage by way of an Executive Bill to be sent to the National Assembly.
“We’ll wait for the harmonisation of such consultation,” he said.
He recalled that in the build-up to the emergence of the existing N30,000 minimum wage, a lower figure was recommended for the approval of then president who raised it to what was eventually sent to the legislature.
