According to the source, a letter, signed by the committee chairman and the chairman of the NSIWC, has been dispatched to Labour, scheduling the meeting for Friday. The source expressed willingness to accept a better offer should one be presented during the meeting.
This development follows the adjournment of the minimum wage committee on Tuesday, after talks between the Federal Government and organized Labour hit a deadlock. Labour had rejected the Federal Government’s fresh proposal of N60,000, which was an increase from the earlier offer of N57,000. In response, Labour revised its demand by reducing it to N494,000 from the initial N497,000.
To expedite the negotiation process, the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria had set a deadline for the end of the month for concluding talks on a new national minimum wage. This ultimatum is set to expire on Friday night.
Festus Osifo, the President of the TUC, reiterated Labour’s commitment to the ultimatum, emphasizing that industrial peace could not be guaranteed without a satisfactory resolution.
Meanwhile, Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, appealed to organized Labour for consideration and patriotism in their demands. She emphasized the government’s dedication to securing a fair wage for Nigerian workers, urging stakeholders to recognize the ongoing economic recovery efforts amidst the pandemic and global economic challenges.
Onyejeocha underscored the importance of collective efforts in overcoming the complex economic challenges faced by Nigerians. She emphasized that the meeting with organized Labour signifies a significant step in the government’s ongoing efforts to ensure fair wages for Nigerian workers
