The Organised Labour has refuted President Bola Tinubu’s report that an agreement was reached with the union on new national minimum wages in his nationwide broadcast to commemorate Nigeria’s Democracy Day.
The union informed that at the time negotiations ended on Friday, June 7, there was no agreement reached by the Tripartite Committee on the National Minimum Wage.
The labour leaders said rather, two figures such as N250,000 from Organised Labour and N62,000 from the federal government and Organised Private Sector, OPS were arrived at and ought to have been submitted to the President.
A statement by the Acting President of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Prince Adewale Adeyanju, the union stated emphatically that anything contrary could be described as being doctored and will not be accepted by the Union.
