The Nigerian government said Saturday that the minimum wage demand of labour unions was unrealistic and the government’s offer of a 100 per cent increase on the existing minimum wage should be accepted by aggrieved workers.
The government thus urged the two major labour unions, NLC and TUC, to shelve their indefinite strike which is scheduled to commence on Monday across Nigeria.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, urged the labour unions to return to the negotiation table.
