Key Resolutions from the Meeting

  1. Commitment to a Higher Minimum Wage: The President of Nigeria, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, reaffirmed his commitment to establishing a National Minimum Wage that exceeds ₦60,000. This is a significant step towards addressing the demands of the labour unions.
  2. Daily Meetings for a Week: In pursuit of an agreeable National Minimum Wage, the Tripartite Committee is scheduled to meet daily for the next week. These meetings are expected to facilitate thorough discussions and expedite the decision-making process.
  3. Labour’s Consideration of Presidential Commitment: The leadership of the Organised Labour has agreed to convene a meeting of its organs immediately. This meeting will focus on considering the President’s commitment to a higher minimum wage and determining the next steps.
  4. Protection Against Victimization: Both parties have assured that no worker will be victimized as a result of participating in the industrial action. This resolution aims to ensure that workers’ rights are protected during this period of negotiation.

Background

The nationwide strike, initiated on June 3, 2024, followed the withdrawal of Labour from the negotiation table by the Tripartite Committee on National Minimum Wage.
