The Federal Government under the leadership of Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taken action through the National Salaries, Incomes, and Wages Commission (NSIWC), convening a meeting of the tripartite committee on the new national minimum wage scheduled for tomorrow. Recalling recent events, NSIWC had previously engaged with organized labor on May 31st. However, discussions halted as the negotiating team representing the NLC and TUC withdrew, citing dissatisfaction with the government and organized private sector’s reluctance to surpass the earlier proposed N60,000

threshold.According to sources disclosed to Vanguard on Monday, the government expresses alarm over the observed level of compliance and worker participation on the first day of the indefinite nationwide strike.
