BUSINESS:- Minimum wage: Tinubu moves to approve “affordable minimum wage”
Amidst the minimum wage saga, affordability seems to be the trend right now. President Tinubu is not giving heed to the NLC demands and is more concerned about “what Nigeria can afford”. President Tinubu declared this during the 25th Democracy Day Anniversary Dinner at the Old Banquet Hall, Presidential Villa, Abuja.
NRTC Weekly has gathered that the President can only afford N62,000 as the minimum wage. The strife between the Labour Congress and the Federal Government have been going on for a while now. It appears that the NLC is not going to get their minimum wage demand of N250,000 anytime soon.
