Organised Labour comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) has reiterated its May 31, 2024 ultimatum to the Federal Government to meet all of its demands.

This followed a Monday emergency meeting of the National Executive Councils (NEC) of the NLC and TUC in response to the pressing national issues affecting Nigerian workers.

The demands include implementation of a new national minimum wage and reversal of the hike in electricity tariff and other issues discussed was the persisting non-compliance with the 2019 National Minimum wage Act by some state governments.

The unions further ordered state chapters to issue two weeks ultimatum to states that have failed to implement the old N30,000 minimum wage.

Recall that last week, labour unions walked out of minimum wage negotiations with the government following a N48,000 proposal by the Federal Government describing it as ridiculous.
