The Federal Government of Nigeria has stated that it will not unilaterally decide on the N56,000 minimum wage proposed by labour unions in the country.
Speaking in an interview on Channels TV, Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, acknowledged the receipt of the letter written by labour on the proposed minimum wage. He said the decision on it would be taken by a tripartite committee.
“We are going to do the needful. I am happy that they even said in their letter that it is going to be a tripartite discussion involving the federal, state, and local governments on one side; the organised private sector and unions represented by the NLC and the TUC.
“We will review. That is what the law says. The review will bring in holistically all factors that are prevailing now. All variables will be put on the table,” Ngige stated.
