FG: Tinubu Engages Governors, OPS on Minimum Wage.
President Bola Tinubu plans to consult state governors and the organized private sector before finalizing the new national minimum wage figure to be presented to the National Assembly as an Executive Bill. The move follows discussions where the government and private sector proposed N62,000, while Labour demanded N250,000. The Nigeria Labour Congress insists on ending “slave wages,” while the Nigeria Employers Consultative Association warns that exceeding N62,000 could provoke crises and job losses. Tinubu aims for informed consensus amid varied stakeholder positions.
