Organised Labour has said it would reject the Federal Government’s offer of ₦100,000 as the new minimum wage because it has the capacity to pay more.
It also asked the government to be serious with negotiations on the issue of workers’ wages, insisting that it used the lowest minimum in arriving at N615,000 as the new minimum wage.
The NLC Head of Information and Public Affairs, Benson Upah, made this known in an interview over the weekend.
Speaking to Vanguard in Abuja, Upah said organised labour will honour the invitation tomorrow but advised the government to be serious.
The NLC spokesman also asked the federal government to perish any thought of offering N100,000 as the new minimum wage.
