Finance Minister Finance, submits minimum wage cost analysis to President Tinubu

Mr. Wale Edun the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, has submitted the projected cost analysis for implementing a new national minimum wage to President Bola Tinubu.

He submitted the proposal to the President at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Thursday, following a 48-hour ultimatum issued to him on Tuesday.

Recall that organised labour, comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress had embarked on a nationwide strike on Monday to demand an increased in national minimum wage for workers and the reversal of the recently increased electricity tariffs.

However, the labour union leadership suspended the strike on Tuesday for five days after signing a commitment with the federal government to resume negotiations and come up with a new minimum wage within a week.
