The NLC has said the FG has agreed to review the National Minimum Wage.

The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Mr Ayuba Wabba, says the Federal Government and the organized Labour movement in the country have reached an agreement to review the National Minimum Wage.

Wabba, who revealed this in an interview on Wednesday in Abuja, said that the consensus was reached during the sitting of the Technical Committee appointed by the NLC.

He said the committee was meant to look into the framework to ameliorate the sufferings of Nigerians and cushion the effect of the increase in the price of fuel.

He also noted that the report of the committee, which was also meant to discuss the issue of the minimum wage, was ready for submission.

“I think there is a consensus on the fact that nobody has said that the minimum wage should not be reviewed.”

“The palliative report is ready and it would be submitted before the end of the month.

“At the last palliative meeting, labour leaders had requested that they needed to look at the main report of the committee before submission.”

He also added that “the technical committee will have to submit its report to Mr President and not to the Minister of Labour and Employment.”

Wabba said that after the submission, the Presidency would then establish a 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.

He said that labour had also received positive response from the National Assembly, saying that the Senate had promised to pass the bill.

Recalled that the labour unions had submitted a proposal to the government demanding for N56,000 as minimum wage.
