National Minimum Wage: 37-member committee will decide

Shettima, while inaugurating the committee at the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, reaffirmed the determination of President Bola Tinubu‘s administration to improve the welfare of workers in the country.

The Vice President, who noted that the labour force stands as the cornerstone of the progress of every nation, welcomed the nominees of the committee comprising government employers and the labour unions.

He said since the removal of the fuel subsidy, various committees had been established and made recommendations to the government on measures to cushion the painful effect of the increase on workers and Nigerians at large.
