Presidency Denies N105,000 Minimum Wage Proposal as Tinubu Reviews Wage Plans

Описание: The Presidency denied reports of proposing a new N105,000 minimum wage, dismissing them as false after Finance Minister Wale Edun and Budget Minister Atiku Bagudu presented a wage template to President Tinubu. The Tripartite Committee on National Minimum Wage postponed its meeting twice due to an incomplete wage proposal. Amid strikes over delayed wage talks, labor unions temporarily suspended their strike following President Tinubu’s commitment to consider a wage above N60,000 and to collaborate with the private sector and regional entities. Daily meetings by the committee will continue until a new minimum wage is established.
