WHAT TO EXPECT FROM NEW MINIMUM WAGE NEGOTIATIONS

It would recalled that President Bola Tinubu, represented by his deputy, Kashim Shettima, on January 30, this year, inaugurated a 37-member panel on the new minimum wage at the Council Chambers of the State House in Abuja.

The panel, with membership, which cuts across the Federal and state governments, private sector and organised labour, is saddled with recommending a new national minimum wage for the country on or before April 1, following the expiration of the N30,000 minimum wage.
