Labour insisted on ₦250,000, its latest demand at the last meeting of the Tripartite Committee on Minimum Wage , as the living wage for an average Nigerian worker.
NLC Assistant General Secretary, Chris Onyeka, who spoke with journalists on a television programme, insisted that labour would not accept the latest government’s offer of ₦62,000 and the ₦100,000 proposal by some individuals and economists.
Onyeka said the one-week grace period given to the Federal Government last Tuesday, June 4, 2024, would expire by the midnight of Tuesday, June 11, 2024.
He said should the Federal Government and National Assembly fail to act on the demands of workers by tomorrow ,Tuesday, the organs of the NLC and the Trade Union Congress ,TUC, would meet to decide on the resumption of the nationwide industrial action relaxed last week.
