The Nation Newspaper New minimum wage cost implications: Tinubu meets Edun, Bagudu at the Villa
, and his Budget and Economic Planning colleague, Senator Atiku Bagudu, at the State House, presumably over ongoing minimum wage talks.
The tripartite committee meeting stalled on Wednesday because the federal government was yet to present a new figure, which ought to be the outcome of Minister Edun’s task, as instructed on Tuesday by the President. “It looks like it because they held a separate meeting after the visit of the World Bank team and from all available indications, the next thing on the table that the Finance Minister should be discussing with the President should be the submission of the figures as instructed by the President.
“It’s been quite challenging, but we thank God that we’re at this point. We thank Labour that true to their words last night, they suspended their strike early this morning.“Government on its side, you can see that the President has just summoned a meeting of all those who negotiated on behalf of the federal government, led by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
Idris emphasized that the President is committed to a new minimum wage that is acceptable, sustainable, and realistic for all Nigerians, involving not just the federal government but also sub-nationals and the organized private sector.
