Federal Gov’t Summons Tripartite C’ttee Meeting On Minimum Wage

Following the ongoing nationwide strike action by the organised labour, the federal government has summoned a meeting of the Tripartite Committee through the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC).

According to a source privy to the development, the meeting would border on the new minimum wage and is scheduled for 10am on Tuesday.

LEADERSHIP gathered that the government was overwhelmed by the level of compliance with the NLC/TUC directive by workers on the first day of indefinite nationwide strike.

Recall that the Organised Labour walked out of the federal government during the last negotiation meeting held on May 31 following the government’s refusal to increase the minimum wage from N60,000.

LEADERSHIP reports that there was substantial compliance with the strike directive in many states of the Federation on Monday.
