According to The Nation, The leaders of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) announced that they have accepted the N70,000 minimum wage approved for Nigerian workers by President Bola Tinubu.
A statement by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, indicated that President Tinubu also pledged to find ways to help the private sector and sub-national entities meet the minimum wage requirement.
Following the meeting, the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Joe Ajaero, briefed the media and confirmed that the unions had accepted the offer.
The Trade Union Congress (TUC) President, Comrade Festus Usifo, and other Nigerian labour representatives followed Ajaero when he said that the unions had accepted the offer since it included additional incentives.
Another reason he gave for accepting the offer, according to him, was the president’s promise of a review every three years as opposed to the prior one.
