In a bid to unveil the new minimum wage expected to cushion the effects of the subsidy removal, the 37-member tripartite committee set up by the Federal Government will reconvene mid-April to continue further negotiations and consultations on the new minimum wage expected to be announced by President Bola Tinubu on 1st of May, 2024.
The National Treasurer of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Hakeem Ambali, who is also a member of the tripartite committee, made this known in an interview with journalists in Abuja on Sunday.
Ambali noted that the committee members are still collating and analyzing the reports received from the zonal public hearings held across the six geo-political zones of the country between Wednesday, March 27, 2024 and Thursday, March 28, 2024.
Recall that in May 2017, the House of Representatives moved to amend the National Minimum Wage Act for a compulsory review of workers’ remuneration every five years.
