As the Nationwide strike embarked upon by the Labour unions continue to gain momentum, the Federal government has called for a meeting of the tripartite committee on the new national minimum wage through the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC).
The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 4. The previous meeting of the committee was abruptly stopped on May 31st when the organized Labour negotiation team left, as the government and organized private sector refused to increase their offer of N60,000.
It is unclear if the leaders of the Labour union will attend this meeting.
