Organized Labour, consisting of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress, TUC, has outlined details of its proposed N615,000 minimum wage.<\/p>\n

The details were contained in a statement released by the NLC on Friday.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, Food and Transportation took the larger proportion of the proposed minimum wage.<\/p>\n

The breakdown showed that N270,000 (for thirty days) was benchmarked for Food and N110,000 for Transportation.<\/p>\n

Others are Electricity\/Power (N20,000), Accommodation (N40,000), Utility Water (N10,000), Kerosene\/Gas (N35,000), Clothing (N20,000), Education (N50,000), Sanitation (N10,000) and Medicals (50,000) resulting to a total sum of N615,000.<\/p>\n

Recall that Festus Osifo, President of TUC and Joe Ajaero, the President of NLC, in separate statements, had revealed the N615,000 minimum wage proposal.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in his May Day message to workers, President Bola Tinubu said an upward review of the minimum wage is imminent.<\/p>\n

The development comes as Nigerian workers grapple with high cost of living resulting from rising inflation, which stood at 33.20 per cent in March 2024.<\/p>\n
