The Trade Union Congress (TUC) said the Federal Government has been nonchalant about deliberations on the new minimum wage.

According to the President of the TUC, FESTUS OSIFO, the new proposal does not tally with the nation’s economic realities.

OSIFO said with Nigeria’s inflation rate of 33.69 per cent as of April 2024 based on data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), labour had to “completely reject” the Federal Government’s latest offer of 60,000 naira.

The TUC boss also accused the Tinubu government of policy somersaults and not having “deep thinking”.
