NLC- FG and labour movement in the country have reached a consensus to review the national minimum wage

   

   The President, Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Ayuba Wabba, says the federal government and the organisedlabour movement in the country have reached a consensus to review the national minimum wage.

   Wabba, who disclosed this in an interview with the Newsmen yesterday  in Abuja, said that the consensus was reached during the sitting of the technical committee on palliative.
   He said the committee was to look into the framework to ameliorate the sufferings of Nigerians and cushion the effect of the increase in the price of fuel.
  Wabba also noted that the report of the committee, which was also meant to discuss the issue of the minimum wage, was ready for submission and that after the submission, the Presidency would then set up the tripartite committee that would involve the government, private and public sector.
  The NLC President said that labour was hopeful that the minimum wage committee would be constituted soon.
