The organised Labour comprising of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), is currently meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The meeting is expected to put finishing touches to issues on the new minimum wage.
The Labour team is led by the President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero and that of the TUC, Comrade Festus Osifo.
Last week, President Tinubu met with Labour leaders over the Minimum wage issue where he declared that Nigerian workers deserve improved welfare, better wages, as well as safe and enhanced working conditions.
The President also said he was concerned about the welfare of Nigerian workers and that his administration was working seriously to come up with a wage that would be acceptable to all.
Meanwhile on their part, Labour maintained that their demand for N250,000 still stands as against the N62,000 proposal of the federal government.
After last week’s Federal Executive Council meeting, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, told reporters that the President would meet Labour Leaders to reach a consensus.
The Minister had said President Tinubu would hold a follow-up meeting with the labour leaders in continuation of his consultation with the stakeholders.
