The minimum wage tripartite committee is yet to receive the federal government’s template, barely twenty-four hours after organised labour suspended strike to continue talks.
Both the Trade Union Congress President, Festus Osifo, and the Minister of State for Labour, Nkeiru Onyejeocha confirmed this to ait.live at the end of another inconclusive Minimum wage Tripartite meeting.
While labour disclosed that the government has not presented any amount higher than N60,000, the government maintains that it is working on a template that will be acceptable to not only organised labour but the organised private sector.
On the complaints that sub-nationals are frustrating the process of agreeing on a new minimum wage since a few states are not yet implementing the N30,000 minimum wage, Minister of Labour provided some explanation.
The June 5 minimum wage tripartite committee meeting had in attendance the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, Kwara State Governor, Abdulrazak Abdulrahman and the Head of the Federal Civil Service, Folasade Yemi-Esan.
