The Federal Government through the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, (NSIWC), has called for a meeting of the tripartite committee on the new national minimum wage scheduled for tomorrow.
The organized business sector and government’s refusal to raise the offer over N60,000 caused the organized labor negotiating delegation to suddenly leave the previous committee meeting on May 31.

This action suggests that the government is worried about the workers’ willingness to comply with and take part in the ongoing, nationwide indefinite strike. Tuesday at 10 a.m. is when the proposed meeting is supposed to take place.
The organized labour shut down the nation’s economy on Monday due to the Federal government’s inability to adopt its proposed national minimum wage.
Nigeria is about to reach another turning point in its struggle for a just and equitable minimum wage, which will test the government’s and organized labor’s dedication and leadership. In addition to influencing the future of millions of workers, the conclusion of Tuesday’s summit will strongly suggest the nation’s commitment to social fairness, economic stability, and democratic governance. Finding common ground can seem impossible when faced with overwhelming obstacles and conflicting interests. But as history has demonstrated, Nigeria possesses the tenacity, inventiveness, and camaraderie necessary to conquer even the most formidable challenges. Nigeria can forge a future that is based on communication, compromise, and respect for one another.
