PRESIDENT TINUBU TO MEET WITH ORGANISED LABOUR ON THURSDAY OVER MINIMUM WAGE

Reports say President Bola Tinubu will meet with the Organised Labour in Abuja on Thursday to further discussions on a new minimum wage for workers in Nigeria.

A top labour source said the President invited the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) to the meeting expected to be held at the Aso Villa.

The Thursday meeting is coming about a month after the President said in his Democracy Day speech on June 12, 2024, that an executive bill on the new national minimum wage for workers would soon be sent to the National Assembly for passage.

The President is expected to make a decision on the sixty two thousand naira proposal of the government and private sector side; as well as the two hundred and fifty thousand naira demand of the Organised Labour.
