FG Bows To Pressure, Agrees To Increase N60,000 Proposed Minimum Wage

Barely 24 hours after the commencement of a nationwide strike by organised labour, the federal government has agreed to continue negotiations, with a commitment of increasing the earlier proposed N60,000 minimum wage.

The strike, THE WHISTLER reported had full compliance by staff of MDAs, financial institutions, government hospitals, and power sectors amongst others after the federal government refused to increase the earlier N60,000 minimum wage proposal. The meeting had ended in a deadlock.
