The President of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC), Bobboi Kaigama has announced today that a new amount agreed on by the Federal Government and labour to serve as Nigeria’s new minimum wage would be announced next month.

Bobboi said that the committee working on the minimum wage had almost concluded negotiations on the matter. He said:

“The tripartite meeting is holding today but I do not want to pre-empt the outcome or the level we have reached in our discussions, otherwise there will be unnecessary anxiety. But by the end of August, I am assuring you that workers will know what the agreed new minimum wage will be, ” he said.
