Organised labour in Nigeria is preparing to negotiate a new minimum wage with the government and employers. The labour unions plan to base their demand on the cost of living and other socio-economic factors across the country.
This comes as the Federal Government has pledged to pay the arrears of the N35,000 wage award that it owes its workers. The government says it is committed to fulfilling its agreements with the trade unions.
