  ASS) and President Bola Tinubu will decide on the next course of action, according to Organized Labour Weekend, after last Friday's deadlocked talks on a new national minimum wage (NNMW).

The Federal Government negotiating team defied expectations by adding N2,000 to its initial offer of N60,000, resulting in an impasse that compelled labor unions to call a statewide strike. Due to the impasse, the committee decided to pre...

Onyeka stated that labor will not accept the government's most recent offer of ₦62,000, stating that its most recent demand is that the average Nigerian worker's living wage be maintained at ₦250,000. "Our position is very clear," he declared. We have never given thought to taking less than ₦62,000, or any other wage that we are aware is insufficient to send Nigerian workers home. We're not going to bargain for famine. "We had never thought about spending ₦100,000, much less ₦62,000. We deemed it to be sufficient accommodation for the government and other relevant stakeholders in this specific scenario, therefore we remain at ₦250,000. Our...
