President of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, has clarified that the leadership of the Labour Union met President Bola Tinubu for discussions and not to negotiate down the new minimum wage.
He told State House Correspondents after the meeting that the status quo on N250,000 as minimum wage still stands.
The Federal Government and Organized private sector had agreed on N62,000, while Labour is insisting on N250,000.
President Bola Tinubu had said he needed time to consult with other stakeholders before sending the bill for the new minimum wage to National Assembly.
Ajaero declared that “Labour Leaders went for discussion, not negotiation.” He said the meeting would continue next week.
After discussing for over an hour, Labour Leaders came out of the meeting with the President and told State House Correspondents that they would go back to the people and return to the Presidential villa.
Trade Union Congress (TUC) President, Festus Osifo, said they discussed, and after explaining their position, the President also made his remarks. He did not disclose details of the discussions of the meeting.
