The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has urged the Federal Government to use the occasion of Democracy Day celebration to announce the composition of a tripartite negotiation committee on the national minimum wage.
The NLC President, Mr Ayuba Wabba, made the call in a statement he issued on Sunday in Abuja, ahead of Democracy Day celebration on Monday.
Wabba, who recalled that the minimum wage was increased to N18,000 six years ago, added that the patience of workers had been stretched due to the current inflation in the country.
“We, therefore, urge the Federal Government to use the occasion of Democracy Day to announce the composition of a tripartite negotiation committee as this is imperative for the government to review the national minimum wage,” he said.
