After a crucial meeting with President Bola Tinubu, the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) remains steadfast in its demand for a minimum wage of N250,000. Comrade Joe Ajaero, the President of the NLC, reaffirmed this position in a statement to State House Correspondents on Thursday.

Despite an agreement between the Federal Government and the Organised Private Sector on a minimum wage of N62,000, Ajaero made it clear that the labour movement is not shifting its stance. He emphasized that the discussions with President Tinubu and other key labour leaders were not negotiations but rather a platform for dialogue.

“We are firm on our demand for a N250,000 minimum wage,” Ajaero stated. “The current economic realities and the cost of living necessitate this adjustment to ensure a decent standard of living for Nigerian workers.”

The meeting, which was attended by senior government officials and labour leaders, aimed to address the growing concerns over wage adequacy and workers’ welfare in light of the rising inflation and economic challenges facing the country.

Ajaero also revealed that the talks are set to continue next week, providing an opportunity for further dialogue and potential resolutions. “We are committed to ongoing discussions to find a sustainable solution that meets the needs of Nigerian workers,” he added.

The NLC’s firm stance on the N250,000 minimum wage reflects a broader concern within the labour movement about the impact of current wages on the livelihoods of workers and their families. As the discussions progress, all eyes will be on the outcomes of next week’s meeting and whether a compromise can be reached that satisfies both the government’s economic constraints and the labour movement’s demands.
