Tripartite Committee on New Minimum Wage Convenes in Abuja

The tripartite committee debating a new national minimum wage is now in session.

The fifth behind closed doors meeting since organised labour halted industrial action is being held at the Nicon Luxury Hotel in Abuja.

The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) Director General, Nkiruka Onyejeocha, the Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, a representative of the Salaries, Income, and Wages Commission, Wale Edun, the Minister of Finance, and Atiku Bagudu, the Minister of Budget and National Planning, are among the notable committee members present.

The committee members promised at the Thursday meeting that they would reveal a figure on Friday.

Remember that the committee needed a week to complete their negotiations and provide a figure that would be presented to the National Assembly, thus the organised labour had suspended their industrial action.
