President Bola Tinubu is set to transmit the New National Minimum Wage bill to the National Assembly next week.

The Publisher Nigeria recalled that President Tinubu met with the leadership of organized labour consisting of the Nigeria Labour Congress
(NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) on Thursday last week over the minimum wage issue.

The Tripartite Committee of the new National Minimum Wage had submitted two separate figures to the President following the disagreement among the different stakeholders.

President Tinubu upon the receipt of the committee’s report, had promised to meet with the relevant stakeholders to harmonize the figure before transmitting the executive bill to the National Assembly.

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, while briefing the State House correspondents at the end of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, said that the President will transmit the executive bill after the meeting with the organized labour on Thursday.

He also stated that the executive will send what he described as an amendment to the 2024 budget to the National Assembly.

According to him, the amendment would take care of the new minimum wage among other things.
