The secretary to the state government, Sen. George Akume, has received, on behalf of the federal government, the report of the Tripartite Committee on minimum wage.
President Bola Tinubu inaugurated a 37-member Tripartite Committee on National Minimum Wage on January 30, 2024, under the provisions of the Minimum Wage Act, 2019.
The Committee was charged with the responsibility of recommending a new national minimum wage for Nigerian workers in both the public and private sectors.
The Tripartite Committee concluded its assignment and submitted a report to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation on Monday, June 10, 2024.
A formal presentation of the report will be made to Tinubu for appropriate action when the leadership of organised labour as well as representatives of the government and organised private sector, who are presently in Geneva, Switzerland, for the ongoing International Labour Organisation (ILO) Conference, return to the country.
Akume thanked the Chairman of the Committee, Alh. Bukar Goni Aji, and members for their commitment and sacrifices.
