This is contained in a statement by the Director of Information, office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Segun Imohiosen, in Abuja.<\/p>\n
Imohiosen said the Federal Government reviewed the commitments made with the organised labour at a meeting attended by the Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, and other dignitaries.<\/p>\n
He revealed that substantial progress had been made in the agreements, including payment of four months from six months wage award promised to the organised labour.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe remaining two months of January and February, 2024 are being processed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to him, the Federal Government had also inaugurated a 37-member Minimum Wage Committee to review and come up with an acceptable and sustainable minimum wage for the Nigerian workers.<\/p>\n
On the provision of CNG buses and conversion kits, the director said the government had so far made substantial financial commitments, stressing that the buses would be rolled out in no distant time to alleviate the transportation challenges being faced by Nigerians.<\/p>\n
