Negotiations over a potential increase in Nigeria’s national minimum wage have taken a contentious turn after the House of Representatives reportedly launched a verbal attack on labour leaders.
The House also picked holes in the handling of the suspended industrial action by union leaders, describing the shutting down of the national grid as an act of economic sabotage.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, by its spokesman Akin Rotimi, the House said those responsible for sabotaging the nation’s economy should be brought to justice.
