Organised Labour, which includes the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress, has just suspended their nation wide strike, as disclosed by an NLC leader in Abuja.
It was gathered that following a six-hour meeting with the leadership of organised labour in Abuja, the Federal Government reaffirmed President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to increase the N60,000 minimum salary.
The document read, “The President of Nigeria, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, is committed to establishing a National Minimum Wage higher than N60,000; and the Tripartite Committee will convene daily for the next week to finalise an agreeable National Minimum Wage.”
The labour organisation also pledged to “immediately hold meetings of its organs to consider this new offer, and no worker would face victimisation as a consequence of participating in the industrial action.”
