Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Nigerian workers, under the aegis of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress, have rejected the Federal government\u2019s fresh N58,000 minimum wage offer.<\/p>\n

According to Channels Television, sources in the Nigeria Labour Congress disclosed this on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The report said that organized labour also saw reasons for dropping their demand to N497,000 minimum wage from N615,000.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the Federal Government offered organized labour a minimum wage of N54,000. Last week, it offered a minimum wage of N48,000, which prompted Nigerian workers to stage a walkout.<\/p>\n

In an interview on Tuesday with Politics Today, NLC president Joe Ajaero described the government offer as unsubstantial.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is still not substantial compared to what we need to make a family moving,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Recall that organized labour proposed a N615,000 minimum wage up from N30,000, citing the prevailing economic realities Nigerians were facing.<\/p>\n
