Thursday ’s meeting is part of President Tinubu’s promise to hold further consultations with stakeholders on the new minimum wage after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) stepped down deliberations on the matter last month.

The tripartite committee on the minimum wage had in June this year recommended N62,000, but the organised labour rejected it, demanding at least N250,000 as minimum wage.
