The tripartite committee on Nigeria’s new national minimum wage has resumed its deliberations in Abuja. This marks the fifth meeting since the suspension of the nationwide strike organized by labor unions demanding a wage increase.
The meeting, held behind closed doors at the Nicon Luxury Hotel, includes prominent members such as the Director General of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, the Minister of Labour and Employment (State) Nkiruka Onyejeocha, Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, a representative of the Salaries, Income and Wages Commission, Minister of Finance Wale Edun, and Minister of Budget and National Planning Atiku Bagudu.
There are indications that a new minimum wage figure may be announced following Friday’s discussions.
