Organized Labor Shifts Ground on 1million Naira Wage

The Organised Labour is prepared to lower its demand for N1m minimum wage for workers in the country in line with realities on the ground.

The President of the Nigerian Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) and a member of the labour unions, Akeem Ambali, stated this in an interview.

Recall that the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, had in a recent interview said the rising inflation in the country might push organised labour to demand N1 million as minimum wage.

Speaking with journalists, Ambali, who is also a member of the Minimum Wage Committee, said the organised labour has shifted its ground on the N1 million proposed minimum wage.

Ambali said one of the principles of collective bargaining allows all parties to look into all factors before an amount would be agreed on.
