The Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress have been agitating for a new minimum wage for workers across states, on the back of economic reforms by the President Bola Tinubu administration. The removal of subsidy on petrol and unification of the forex windows in 2023, immediately led to food inflation and a spike in the prices of other goods and services.
The national minimum wage has been pegged at N30,000 since April 18, 2019. However, this sum has been described as “grossly inadequate” and “poverty wage” in the face of prevailing economic hardship.There are insinuations that a new national minimum wage will be announced by the president on May Day.
