After sustained struggle and negotiations, we achieved the landmark agreement on the N70,000 national minimum wage, which has been signed into law.This achievement is a testament to the resilience and commitment of Nigerian workers and their representatives. Yet, despite this victory, the implementation of the minimum wage remains elusive and speaks to the nature of the battle ahead.We, therefore, call on your members to join us in this struggle the same way you did during the negotiation process so that together, we can enjoy whatever benefits it contains.”Read more on minimum wage
