The President of Trade Union Congress (TUC), Comrade Festus Usifo has said that President Bola Tinubu will announce a new minimum wage for Nigerian workers next week.
Osifo disclosed this while speaking on the outcome of the union’s Tuesday meeting with the federal government on the fuel subsidy removal.
According to the TUC President, “Minister of Labour told us that he had an audience with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the minister of finance and had reviewed the issue of wage award. But the president asked them to fine-tune the issues before he makes the announcement.
“Minister told us all these issues would be streamlined but because the president has travelled we should give him an extra two weeks. We said no; we don’t have an extra two weeks to give. After more discussions, he said the president would make a proper announcement next week.”
