The Organised Labour has applauded President Bola Tinubu for the fatherly gesture over the new minimum wage as he also promised to use his discretionary powers meet the demands of university unions demanding unpaid 4 months salaries.
The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said President Tinubu approved the N70,000 minimum wage for Nigerian workers with a promise to review the national minimum wage law every three years.
Onanuga said Tinubu also promised to find ways to assist the private sector and the sub-nationals to pay the new minimum wage, including meeting the demands of university unions demanding four-month unpaid salaries.
Taking to his X handle (formerly Twitter) immediately after the President/Labour meeting on Thursday afternoon at the Aso Rock Villa, Onanuga further wrote: “President Tinubu announced the decisions at the meeting held with leaders of TUC and NLC on Thursday in Abuja, the second time the parties met in 7 days.
