Nigerian Manufacturers Back N60,000 Minimum Wage Proposal, Say Labour’s Wage Demands Unrealistic

Ajayi-Kadir, who spoke on a television programme on Saturday, explained that the economic environment has been challenging for both labour and private businesses, making it nearly impossible for them to pay the wage the labour union is demanding.

He said the organised private sector concurred with the federal government that the new minimum wage should be N60,000.
