The Nigeria Labour Congress has demanded N794,000 as the new national minimum wage for workers in the South West geopolitical political zone.
During her presentation on Thursday at the current public hearing of the Tripartite Committee on National Minimum Wage in Ikeja, Lagos, the South West labour union made the demand through Funmi Sessi, the chairperson of the Lagos State chapter of the NLC.
Sessi noted that the demand was jointly agreed on by all the members of the union in the South West.
President Bola Tinubu, through Vice President Kashim Shettima, inaugurated a 37-member panel on the new minimum wage in the Council Chamber of the State House in Abuja on January 30, 2024.
