Explaining the journey to the N70,000 minimum wage, Ajaero said, “It is the tripartite committee which comprises of the organised private sector, government, and labour committee that negotiates minimum wage. After negotiation, they came to N62,000, then it was labour that said no and submitted their report to the president awaiting transmission to the National Assembly and then another round of talks.
“Last week Thursday, the president met with us and gave me many analyses. Even while we were negotiating at N60,000, the governors insisted on not paying, that it would be difficult, but we continued moving.
