In a swift reaction to decision of President Bola Tinubu to stepdown memo on the new minimum wage at Federal Executive Council meeting, the Organized Labour has summoned emergency meeting.
The Quest Times learned that the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) on Tuesday called for an urgent meeting and the meeting is slated to hold at Labour House, Abuja today (Wednesday) by 10:00am.
The Quest Times reported that the Federal Executive Council (FEC) withdrew the memo on the new minimum wage to allow President Bola Tinubu engage in more consultation with stakeholders.
Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, disclosed this on Tuesday while briefing State House correspondents on the decisions taken at the council meeting.
The Minister said the President has studied the report submitted by the Tripartite Committee on Minimum Wage and would consult further before a final submission on a new national minimum wage to the National Assembly.
Recall that the Tripartite Committee proposed N62,000 minimum wage while the Organised labour Unions are demanding for N250,000 from the Presidency.
