The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Ayuba Wabba, on Monday, disclosed that the Federal Government was set to announce the new minimum wage.
Wabba said the tripartite committee has completed its assignment for onward submission to President Muhammadu Buhari.
The NLC President stated this while addressing journalists in Abuja.
He said the committee used two days to reconvene and deliberate on a new minimum wage that was acceptable to all employers of labour across Nigeria.
“I want to assure workers that all has been concluded and will be passed for signing within the week.
“I also want to appreciate the Organised Private Sector, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria and Nigeria Employers Consultative Association for their resolve to pay the new minimum wage when it is signed into law,” he said.
