Minimum Wage: FG, Labour meets again

After over two months of inaction following July 27, deadlock in negotiation between the Federal Government and Organised Labour over the consequential adjustment arising from the N30, 000 new National Minimum Wage, NMW, the two parties will Wednesday resume what is considered a make-or-mar meeting.

Already, feelers are worried that if a compromise is not reached at the meeting, the consequences may be very grave for the country as civil servants and other public workers are said to have lost patience with the protracted negotiations and government’s apparent rigid stance.

Speaking to Vanguard, a member of Labour negotiating team and President of Nigeria Civil Service Union, NCSU, Amaechi Lawerence, said he hoped government team would bring something reasonable and realistic to the table this time around for amicable resolution.
