The Organised Labour have confirmed that they have accepted the N70,000 minimum wage President Bola Tinubu approved for Nigerian workers.
Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, told State House correspondents that the president announced the offer at a meeting with the labour leaders at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, on Thursday.
The President of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Comrade Joe Ajaero, while briefing newsmen after the meeting, said the unions had accepted the offer.
Flanked by Comrade Festus Usifo, President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), and other representatives of Nigerian workers, who attended the meeting, Ajaero said the unions agreed to the offer because of other incentives attached.
He said another reason for accepting the offer is because the president promised a review every three years as against what was obtained in the past.
