Minister of Labour and Employment for state, has given an update on the meeting held with the organized Labour as well as its initially proposed strike action.
You will recall that Labour had planned to embark on a nationwide strike by October 17 if the government fails to accede to its demand over the adjustments of the minimum wage.
Keyamo said the organised labour and representatives of the Federal Government were still discussing over the minimum wage.
Keyamo on his Twitter page wrote: “Kindly ignore the trending story that the Federal Government has agreed with Labour a 20% and 13.5% consequential adjustments for workers on Grade Levels 7- 14 and 15- 17 respectively. As you can see, we are still discussing this minute.
“It’s past 2am and both sides (labour and government) have decided to adjourn the negotiations to continue by 7pm later today, Thursday, October 17th, to iron out some outstanding grey areas.”
