The Organised Labour has rejected President BOLA TINUBU’s claims that an agreement has been reached on new national minimum wages in his nationwide broadcast to mark the 2024 Democracy Day.

Recall that TINUBU had claimed that a consensus had been reached on the long-debated new minimum wage between the Federal Government and organised labour.

In the national broadcast, the President revealed that an executive bill will soon be sent to the National Assembly to formalisethe new minimum wage agreement, emphasising that his administration chose a democratic approach over dictatorship in addressing the demands of labour unions.

However, in a statement, the acting President of Nigeria Labour Congress, Prince ADEWALE ADEYANJUsaid there was no agreement reached by the Tripartite Committee on the National Minimum Wage at the time negotiations ended on Friday, June 7, 2024.
