The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has stepped down the memo on the new minimum wage.
Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, revealed the latest development while speaking to State House Correspondents on Tuesday.
Idris said 39 items were on the agenda, and all were taken except the minimum wage.
According to the Minsiter, there was a report by the Tripartite committee, which comprises local government, States, NLC/ TUC and the federal government.
He said the Tripartite Committee submitted its report, and there was a memo to that effect.
Idris noted that the Council could not decide on the minimum because it involves Local Government, states, FG, Organized Private Sector and Labour unions.
On why the memo on the new minimum wage was stepped down, Idris said the action was taken to enable President Bola Tinubu to consult widely before a final submission to the National Assembly.
