President Bola Ahmed Tinubu says his administration will soon send a new minimum wage bill to the National Assembly.
Tinubu made this known in his Democracy Day broadcast on Wednesday.
He stated that the Federal Government did not crackdown on Organised Labour as past dictatorial governments would have done.
“We have negotiated in good fate and open arms with organized labour on a national minimum wage. We will soon send our executive bill to the National Assembly to enshrine what has been agreed upon in the next five years or less,” he said.
On Monday, the National Minimum Wage committee submited its report to President Tinubu.
In the report, the Federal Government proposed N62,000 minimum wage and Organized Labour proposed N250,000.
However, State Governors and Organised Private Sector proposed N57,000 and N62,000.
