N105,000 proposed minimum wage not officially or unofficially before us—NLC President, Ajaero
Joe Ajaero, the president of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), has denied rumours that organised labour is pressuring the Nigerian government to set a new minimum salary of N105,000.
Ajaero stated that organised labour was not the source of the N105, 000 minimum wage.
He made his remarks on Thursday at a press conference following the tripartite committee meeting.
All committee members attended the initial combined closed-door session, which lasted for around three hours.
According to Ajaero: “They have entered now, you can see them. They will come out later to present it to the general house for deliberation.
“We are all praying that everything shall be okay by tomorrow (Friday). That’s a wish for all of us. Information on N105,000 is not before us, either officially or unofficially. We are still at our position before now, having not presented it to us.
“Until it is made public, we can’t say the government has a position.”
