The organised Labour said they have accepted N70,000 as the new minimum wage President Bola Tinubu just approved for Nigerian workers.
Speaking with newsmen after a meeting with Tinubu at Aso Villa on Thursday, Comrade Joe Ajaero, President of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), said the unions had accepted the offer.
Comrade Festus Usifo, President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), and other representatives of Nigerian workers, who attended the meeting were with Ajaero when he spoke with the press.
Ajaero said the unions agreed to the offer because of other incentives attached.
Mohammed Idris, Minister of Information, had told State House correspondents that the president announced the offer at a meeting with the labour leaders at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, on Thursday.
He said another reason for accepting the offer is because the president promised a review every three years as against what obtained in the past.
