The federal government has reassured workers that despite that the Tripartite Committee on National Minimum Wage has not concluded its discussions, they will not experience any loss, as the new minimum wage is scheduled to take effect from May 1, 2024.
The Minister of State Labour, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, announced this on Wednesday while addressing Nigerian workers at the May Day celebration at the Eagle Square in Abuja.
She stated that although the new national minimum wage was not available before May 1, extensive consultations are being held to guarantee that the document is released as soon as possible.
The Nation reported that the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) chairman, Joe Ajaero suggested a N615,000 living wage for workers.
