Minimum Wage Talks Conclude Today, Labour Awaits President's Decision

The Federal Government and Organised Labour conclude minimum wage talks today, with President Tinubu's decision eagerly anticipated. Labour leaders, currently in Geneva for an international conference, expect a response to their demand for a ₦250,000 minimum wage, significantly higher than the government's proposed ₦62,000.

 The Nigeria Governors Forum has expressed concerns about sustainability, and labour leaders plan to convene a National Executive Council meeting upon their return to discuss potential strike action. 

The outcome will determine the next steps in this contentious issue, with labour leaders exercising caution to avoid accusations of inciting citizens against the government.
