Nigerian workers, under the aegis of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), have rejected the Federal government’s fresh N58,000 minimum wage offer.
Report said that organized labour also saw reasons for dropping their demand to N497,000 minimum wage, from N615,000.
On Tuesday, the Federal government offered organized labour a minimum wage of N54,000. Last week, it offered a minimum wage of N48,000, which prompted Nigerian workers to stage a walkout.
The NLC president, Joe Ajaero, described the government offer as unsubstantial.
“It is still not substantial compared to what we need to make a family moving,” he had said.
First, organized labour proposed a N615,000 minimum wage up from N30,000, citing the prevailing economic situation Nigerians.
