FG has spoken on paying ₦615,000 monthly Minimum Wage proposed by NLC.
Newsone Nigeria reports that the Federal Government led by President Bola Tinubu, says the N615,000 minimum wage demanded by organised labour is unrealistic and not feasible.
Appearing on Channels Television, the NLC President said: “I think the announcement now appears mischievous because there is no wage increase that the government is announcing. For them to announce it now, is an issue that we are worried about at the NLC and even at the TUC.
He said, “It is an open affair. The NLC President, Ajaero, told the public today they were asking for N615,000 per month as minimum wage. So, where will the money come from? Do we have that kind of money to pay? The government cannot afford any minimum wage that it cannot pay.
“So, the President is hoping that maybe at their next meeting, everybody will come to some reasonable agreement that would reflect what the government and the private sector can pay.”
