The Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association, NECA, has called on the organised labour to return to the negotiation table on the planned minimum wage review. The appeal followed the decision of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, on Wednesday, in Abuja, to pull out of the National Minimum Wage Committee.
The development came after representatives of the government and the organised private sector made an offer of N48,000 and N54,000 wage respectively.
reports that the two labour unions had earlier proposed a sum of N615,000 minimum wage for federal workers, giving evidence and data to substantiate their proposal. While reacting, the Director-General, NECA, Adewale-Smatt Oyerinde, in a statement issued on Wednesday, in Lagos, described labour’s pullout as unfortunate. Oyerinde urged labour to reconsider its position and return to the negotiation table in the interest of its members and national development.
