The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has said the commencement of negotiation of the new National Minimum Wage in 2024 would be based on the prevailing cost of living in the country.
Mr Joe Ajaero, NLC President, said this at the ongoing 19th edition of the NLC 2023 Harmattan School, organised by the Congress on Tuesday in Abuja.
According to Guardian, the theme of the event is “Building Workers’ Skills for Policy Engagement”.
Ajaero, represented by Mr Benjamin Anthony, Vice-President of NLC, said it was necessary for government at all levels to recognise that life and living conditions are exceedingly difficult.
He said that the ultimate goal, though, is to establish a living wage that covers the cost of living and make allowance for some savings by the workers
