The Federal Government is set to present the thirty thousand naira new National Minimum Wage proposal to the National Economic Council today for further consultations.
This was the key resolution of an extraordinary meeting of the FederalExecutive Council meeting, presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa Abuja, last night. State Governors, the Central Bank of Nigeria and some major Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government constitute the NEC.
The Minister of Information, Mr. Lai Mohammed, did not give further details aside from saying that the government would meet with NEC for more talks.
It would be recalled that President Buhari last week inaugurated a technical committee to guide the government on how to implement a new wage bill.
The inauguration of the committee came soon after the President also made a commitment to forward a bill on the new minimum wage to the National Assembly.
