Comrade Funmi Sesi, the chairperson, Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Lagos State Council, has stressed the need for proper consultation and consideration of prevailing economic realities in any discussion on a new national minimum wage.
Sesi emphasised this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday while reacting to reports of a proposed N100,000 minimum wage by the Nigeria Governors’ Forum.
She insisted that wage determination must follow the established tripartite negotiation process involving labour, government and employers.
According to her, the proposal cannot be unilaterally determined by governors without the input of workers and other stakeholders.
