The indefinite strike by labour unions may soon end after the unions late Monday reached an agreement with the federal government on a new national minimum wage.
The agreement was reached at a meeting convened by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, in Abuja. The meeting was also attended by the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, indicating the importance the Bola Tinubu administration attached to it.
Although no amount was agreed upon as the new minimum wage, the parties agreed that the federal government would agree to a higher figure than the N60,000 it currently offers.
