Minimum wage: Employee can’t fix figure for employer – FG tells Labour

The Federal Government (FG), has stated that the Nigerian Labour Congress cannot fix a figure to be paid for by the FG as Minimum wage.

Minister of Labour, Dr. Chris Ngige, who said this when the new Director-General of Nigeria Employers Consultative Association, NECA, Timothy Olawale, visited his office on Friday in Abuja, called on Organised Labour to accept the new minimum wage proposal, considering the capacity and ability of the government and the private sector to pay.
