The Nigeria Labour Congress has called for a new minimum wage of ₦154,000, citing worsening economic hardship and declining purchasing power among Nigerian workers.
The demand, conveyed through the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council, stressed the urgent need for a comprehensive review of salaries and allowances in the public service to reflect current economic realities.
Labour leaders said rising inflation, food prices and transportation costs have made the current wage structure unsustainable, urging the Federal Government to begin immediate negotiations to ease the burden on workers.
