There are strong indications that the ongoing minimum wage negotiations between the organized labour, the federal government, states and local governments may settle at N70,000 compromise deal.
According to a source, an executive bill from President Bola Tinubu would still be sent to the National Assembly any moment next week, as the tripartite committee recommended N62,000 minimum wage.
However, the National Assembly might as it did in 2019, approve more than the President’s. A member of the tripartite committee said President Tinubu had concluded plans to send the compromise minimum wage of N62,0000, but the National Assembly may likely up the sum to N70,000.
