President Bola Tinubu has been warned against sending an executive bill on new minimum wage to the National Assembly without consulting the labour
The NLC and TUC said it was imperative for the president to consult them and the organised private sector before submitting a specific figure to the National Assembly
According to the unions, proper consultations on the new minimum wage would lead to industrial harmony in Nigeria
The labour leader stated that labour expected the President to invite tripartite bodies to a meeting to discuss the ability to pay before arriving at a final figure.
His statement reads in part:
“We do not expect the President to present a final figure to the National Assembly without consulting with organised labour, employers, and state governors. Everyone will still come together to discuss before transmission to the National Assembly.”
