Minimum Wage Talks: Labour gets restive as FG plays waiting game

ABUJA — For the second day running after Monday’s nationwide strike, the Federal Government negotiating team yesterday failed to make a fresh offer to the Technical Committee on the New National Minimum Wage, NNMW, as the five-day deadline to end negotiation draw nearer.

This is even as Secretary to Government of the Federation, SGF, George Akume, yesterday said Labour committed treason by shutting down the national grid during the nationwide strike that was suspended on Tuesday.

The delay by the Federal Government to present a new offer beyond the N60,000, it offered last week, Vanguard gathered, is causing restiveness within the labour movement.
