President Bola Tinubu plans to meet with labour leaders on Thursday, barring any last-minute changes.

The meeting with the labour leaders will take place at the Presidential Villa in Abuja to discuss the new national minimum wage for Nigerian workers.

The meeting is initiated by the President and will include the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC), according to Channels Television.The Nigerian Government and labour organizations have disagreed on the new minimum wage for workers.

Labour groups are asking for N250,000, but the Nigerian Government has proposed N60,000 as the new minimum wage.

President Tinubu made this commitment during his Democracy Day speech on June 12, 2024.
