NewsOnline Nigeria reports that President Bola Tinubu is currently chairing the ongoing Federal Executive Council (FEC) to decide the final new minimum wage for workers today.

 

This Nigeria news platform gathered that the contentious minimum wage dispute will take centre stage in today’s crucial FEC meeting discussions.

The Federal Government, after receiving a report from a tripartite committee recently established for this purpose, acknowledged its capacity to raise the minimum wage to ₦62,000.

 

However, organized labour, represented by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), is holding out for a ₦250,000 minimum wage.

 

Today’s meeting is critical, as it is anticipated to bridge the gap between the government’s proposal and labour’s demands.

 

The council in today’s meeting, is expected to thoroughly assess labour’s position alongside what the government can feasibly manage.

 

This is expected to lead to the drafting of an executive bill aimed at resolving the wage issue, which will subsequently be presented to the National Assembly.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the resolution of the minimum wage debate is of significant importance.

 

It not only affects millions of workers but also has broader economic implications in terms of purchasing power and consumer spending.
