President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would, Thursday, July 18, 2024, meet with the officials of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) of Nigeria as well as the leaders of their affiliate unions and associations over the new minimum wage.
This was disclosed by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mr Mohammed Idris, while briefing State House correspondents at the end of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in Abuja, Monday.
“Let me also say that the president is also open to meeting the Nigerian Labour Congress, the Trade Union Congress, and all their affiliates. We expect that meeting to hold this coming Thursday.
“Recall that this was already what the Labour unions requested during their meeting with Mr. President last week. So, the president is in agreement, he knows that labour wants to quickly find lasting solution to the issue of minimum and government is also going to put the issue of minimum wage behind it.”
