We Have Accepted N70,000 Minimum Wage – Labour Leaders

In a briefing with reporters after the meeting, Comrade Joe Ajaero, President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), revealed that the unions accepted the offer due to the additional incentives that came with it.

 

Ajaero was joined by Comrade Festus Usifo, President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), and other representatives of Nigerian workers who attended the meeting.

 

He said another reason for accepting the offer is because the president promised a review every three years as against what obtained in the past.
