BREAKING: No agreement yet on new minimum wage – Ngige
The Minister of Labour and Employment , Chris Ngige , on Wednesday , said the Federal Government and the organised labour have yet to reach an agreement on the new National Minimum Wage as being reported in the media .
He said the government was still consulting and negotiation was still ongoing .
Ngige said this in an interview with State House correspondents after a meeting of the Federal Executive Council presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa , Abuja.
The minister said there was no truth in the claim that those concerned have agreed to increase the minimum wage to N 30 , 000 .
He explained that while the organised labour agreed on N 30 , 000 , the organised private sector came down to N 25 , 000 , the Federal Government proposed N 24 , 000 while state governors proposed N 20 , 000 .
He said in accordance with Convention 131 of the International Labour Organisation , the most important thing to consider in fixing the new minimum wage is the ability to pay .
