The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has stepped down from consideration and deliberation on the memo on the new minimum wage to allow President BOLA TINUBU to engage in more consultation with stakeholders.

Minister of Information and National Orientation, MOHAMMED IDRIS, disclosed this while briefing State House correspondents on the decisions taken at the council meeting.

He said the President has studied the report submitted by the Tripartite Committee on Minimum Wage and would consult further before a final submission on a new national minimum wage to the National Assembly.
