GhenGhen: We Want N56,000 - Labour Union Reject N30,000 Minimum Wage in Nigeria

The Nigerian organized labour unions have rejected a N30,000 minimum wage offer from the federal government.

The House of Representatives had offered an upward review of the minimum wage for Nigerian workers to N30,000 from the current N18,000 to avoid a strike.

The President of the Trade Union Congress, Bobboi Kaigama, said that the organised labour is demanding N56,000.

He stated that the labour unions were awaiting the executive arm of government to set up a committee to speed up the process.
