Leaders of the organised Labour in the country have accepted the N70,000 minimum wage which President Bola Tinubu earlier offered to pay Nigerian workers.
Briefing newsmen shortly after a meeting with the President today, July 18, at the presidential villa, Abuja, the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, said that the unions had accepted the offer.
Flanked by the President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Festus Usifo, and other representatives of Nigerian workers, who attended the meeting, Ajaero said that the unions agreed to the offer because of other incentives attached.
He said that another reason for accepting the offer is because the President promised a review of the minimum wage every three years as against what obtained in the past.
