Nigeria In One Minute
‘How N30, 000 new minimum wage sailed through’
This came as President Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday, bowed to pressure from the labour movement in the country, promising to set machinery in motion to close the gap between the N24,000 proposed by the Federal Government and the N30,000 put forward by organized labour as soon as possible.
Vanguard gathered that majority of members of the committee presented superior arguments to the dissenting governors and Federal Government representatives on why the N30, 000 must be adopted.
According to a member of the committee, because the tripartite committee is like a tripod, after organized labour and Organized Private Sector, OPS, reached understanding on N30,000, there was really nothing the other leg of the tripod could do, as majority will always have their way, while the minority will have their say.
