The 37-member tripartite committee set by the Federal Government to work out an acceptable new minimum wage for the country has submitted its report to President Bola Tinubu.
The Director, Information and Public Relations Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF), Segun Imohioesn said this in a statement.
“The Tripartite Committee on National Minimum Wage has concluded its assignment and submitted a report to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation on Monday, June 10, 2024,” Imohiosen said.
He said a formal presentation of the report would be made to the President for appropriate action when the leadership of the organised labour, as well as representatives of the government and the organised private sector, who are presently in Geneva, Switzerland for the ongoing International Labour Organisation (ILO) Conference, return to the country.
According to the statement, Senator Akume thanked the chairman of the committee Alhaji Bukar Goni Aji and members for their commitment and sacrifices.
With the submission of the report, Tinubu is expected to decide and send an executive bill to the National Assembly to pass a new minimum wage bill, which the president will then sign into law.
The committee was inaugurated on Tuesday, January 30, 2024 in accordance with the provisions of the Minimum Wage Act, 2019 and tasked with the responsibility of recommending a new national minimum wage for Nigerian workers in public and private sectors.
