Organized Labour has rejected the fresh offer of ₦57,000 minimum wage from the federal government.
The amount, which was proposed by the government during the minimum wage tripartite committee meeting in Abuja on Wednesday, was strongly refused by labour.
Recall the government increased its offer from ₦54,000 to ₦57,000 on Wednesday.
However, a source privy to discussions at the meeting, confirmed that labour rejected the latest offer from the government. He also said labour has reduced its demand from ₦615, 000 to ₦497, 000.
“The government offered 57k; labour rejected it strongly but came down to 497k,” the highly placed source quoted by The Nation, said.
