The Organised Labour has kicked against the federal executive council’s decision to step down the memorandum on the report of the tripartite committee on new national minimum wage.
Head of Public Relations of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Benson Upah, who criticized the failure of FEC to consider the memo during Tuesday’s FEC meeting, said stepping down the tripartite committee report creates room for injurious speculations.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, told journalists after the council meeting that the FEC stepped down the memorandum on the new minimum wage to allow for more consultations between President Bola Tinubu, state governors, local government authorities and the private sector.
