President Bola Tinubu has approved N70,000 minimum wage for Nigerian workers, promising to review the national minimum wage law every three years.
Mohammed Idris, Minister of Information, announced the new minimum wage to State House Correspondents on Thursday.
Meanwhile, leaders of the organised Labour immediately after their meeting with the President confirmed accepting the N70,000 minimum wage approved for Nigerian workers.
Comrade Joe Ajaero, President of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), in company of Comrade Festus Usifo, President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), and other representatives of Nigerian workers, told the media that the unions had accepted the offer.
Ajaero explained that the unions agreed to the offer because of other incentives attached.
According to him, another reason for accepting the offer is because the president promised a review every three years as against what obtained in the past.
