Organised Labour has insisted on its N250,000 new minimum wage proposal, stating it would not negotiate what it described as ‘starvation wage.’
The Assistant General Secretary of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Chris Onyeka, said labour would not accept the latest offer of ₦62,000 and the ₦100,000 proposal made by some individuals and economists.
This was as the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, said the unionists were waiting on President Bola Tinubu to consider labour’s offer.
Ajaero said this in an interview with journalists on Monday at the ongoing International Labour Conference taking place in Geneva, Switzerland.
