Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Trade Union Congress, TUC, has vowed to reject little addition to the N60,000 new minimum wage offered by the Nigerian government.<\/p>\n

TUC President Festus Osifo disclosed this on Tuesday while featuring on Channels Television\u2019s Politics Today programme.<\/p>\n

According to Osifo: \u201cWe also told them that it\u2019s not that we\u2019d get to the table and you start adding N1, N2, N3,000 as you were doing and we got some good guarantees here and there that they would do something good.\u201d<\/p>\n

TUC and the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, had declared an indefinite strike on Monday to demand a better wage for workers.<\/p>\n

The organised labour demanded N494,000, while the Nigerian government proposed N60,000.<\/p>\n

After a meeting between the government and labour, the strike was called off while President Bola Tinubu ordered the Finance Minister, Wale Edun, to come up with the financial implications of a new minimum wage within 48 hours.<\/p>\n
