Leaders of the organised trade union movement have confirmed that they accept the N70,000 minimum wage approved by President Bola Tinubu for Nigerian workers.
Information Minister Mohammed Idris said on Thursday, July 18, that the President had announced the offer in the morning, during a meeting with union leaders at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Speaking after the meeting, Comrade Joe Ajaero, President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), flanked by Comrade Festus Usifo, President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), and other representatives of Nigerian workers, said the unions accepted the offer because of other incentives associated with it.
He said another reason for accepting the offer was that the president had promised a review every three years compared to what had been achieved in the past.
