BREAKING: FG calls for emergency meeting over minimum wage
The Federal Government has called for an emergency meeting of the tripartite committee on the new national minimum wage through the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC).
The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday (Tommorrow), June 4.
The previous meeting of the committee was abruptly stopped on May 31 when the organized labour negotiation team left, as the government and organized private sector refused to increase their offer of N60,000.
This is coming as the first day of the indefinite strike called by organized labour to protest the stalemate in the minimum wage negotiations with the Federal Government and electricity tariff hike, recorded huge success and crippled Nigeria.
