FG Approves Formation Of 29-Member Committee On N56,000 Minimum Wage Demand
The Federal
Government has sanctioned the formation of a 29-member tripartite committee on
N56, 000 minimum wage demands.
The Minister
of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, disclosed this to State House
correspondents at the end of the weekly meeting of the Federal Executive
Council presided over by the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.
Ngige said
the approval came after an extensive deliberation on the report of a technical
committee on the issue, which he chaired.
“The matter
needs to be thrashed out by all stakeholders, because already, employers under
the umbrella of the Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association have rejected
the N56,000 minimum wage proposal,” the minister said.
A seasoned
technocrat appointed by the Federal Government, which will also nominate five
of the members, while six state governors will also be members, will chair the
tripartite committee.
